Now, a presumptive positive test in Elkhart County means the virus is back. A hobby flock of birds in Elkhart County tested positive on Tuesday, August 30th, according to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. This flock had chickens, ducks and geese. A presumptive positive test means all of the birds will have to be killed to prevent further spread.
