The isolation of avian influenza virus from chickens is reported for the second time in the United States since the fowl plague outbreak in 1929. The Hav6Nl influenza A virus was identified by virus isolation and/or serological techniques from three flocks of commercial Leghorn hens on a single farm in central Minnesota. A fourth house on the same farm was unaffected. Mortality was moderate, whereas egg production declined markedly.
