Dead chickens on a farm in eastern England have tested positive for bird flu, the British government said on Wednesday.

First tests suggested they had the H7 strain of the disease, and not the H5N1 strain which has killed more than 100 people since late 2003, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said in a statement.

"Further tests are being carried out to determine the strain of the virus and more will be known tomorrow, Thursday", it said.
