The common symptoms include weakness, anorexia (refusal to eat which results in loss of weight), poor growth, chalk white faeces, droopy wings and death. Hence option d is correct.

Bird flu in poultry is a viral disease caused by the H5N1 virus. This disease can be transmitted from birds to humans.
