A. State Fish and Game officials say the answer is no. Chicken and turkey sold in the United States come from North American farms where H5N1 has not been detected. The birds also are regularly inspected and tested. Poultry and eggs from infected parts of the world are not allowed into the United States. Cooking kills the H5N1 virus.
