Duck Farm

More than 10,000 ducklings have been culled at a farm in Fujian province since the outbreak of H7N9 bird flu.

The cullings continued for a week, Lin Shundong, the farm owner, was quoted as saying by the Strait Herald on Thursday.

Hundreds of the ducklings, which were less than a day old, were thrown into plastic bags and suffocated within a few minutes, the report said.
