Ranchi: Bird flu infection has been found in chickens of Kadaknath breed at a poultry farm in Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district after which the order placed for the organic poultry farm of cricketer MS Dhoni has been cancelled on Wednesday.

The farm is located at Rudipanda village under Thandla tehsil from where the delivery of chick was scheduled for delivery this month.

Vinod Meda, the farm owner, said he had got an order for 2,000 chicks of Kadaknath breed from former India cricket captain M S Dhoni last month, but they could not be delivered due to bad weather.

The black-winged and tan-blooded 'Kadaknath' chicken is known for its high iron content and low cholesterol and sells at a much higher price than other varieties. The Kadaknath chicken meat has GI tag and is recognised for its delicious taste.
