TOKYO — Bird flu has been detected in chickens at a farm in northeastern Japan and restrictions have been imposed on shipments of poultry and eggs from the area, the government said Sunday. More than 800 chickens at a farm in Mitsukaido City in Ibaraki prefecture, just northeast of Tokyo, have died since April, and recent tests on some found they were infected with the H5N2 strain of bird flu.
