AMES, Iowa (AP) - Inside an Agriculture Department building known as C-3, four young chickens strut nervously in their cage. They are part of the government's network of defense against deadly bird flu.
"These are nice, bright, healthy birds," says veterinarian Michelle Crocheck, who is decked out in protective clothing that is part "ER" and part lobster fisherman.
If suspected cases of bird flu are found at other screening labs across the country, the future for Crocheck's charges is grim.
