Thousands of chickens have died in Indonesia from a disease that has, so far, baffled local experts. The symptoms, say health experts, are different from those found in chickens with bird flu (avian influenza).
The mystery disease has struck in Central Java, Indonesia.
Indonesia has suffered badly from bird flu - so far 9 million chickens have died over the last twelve months (H5N1 strain).
Over five villages have been hit by this new disease in the Sleman region. Officials say that the birds die soon after being infected.
