And how many wild birds found dead at the adjoining waterfowl reserve?

I think the question is "How many lived, and how many escaped to spread it further?"

WAit a minute, the headline surely is contradicted by the text? Poultry found dead near the farm suggests they were escapees or else other birds from somwhere else. Yet the text suggests that instead the workers merely found that some birds in the farm had already died of bird flu, which would susprise no-one with a functioning cortex.
