BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Demand for chicken meat and ducks has been
decreasing in the past few days after bid flu cases were
discovered in Banda Aceh.

Normally vendors sold around 30 chickens each a day but sales
had dropped by up to half, they said.

"The situation is getting worse," Nurdin, a chicken trader in
a Banda Aceh market, said.

A report by a government official on Friday said several
chickens in a farm in the city had tested positive for the bird
flu virus. -- Antara
