Translation of a Southern Metropolis Daily article of what culling looks from the viewpoint of the people involved, including many photographs.

On October 28, chickens began to die in Jiangtai village, Badaohao town, Heishan county, Jinzhou City, Liaoning province.

On November 1, Liaoning province made a preliminary determination that this was avian flu.

On November 3, the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory confirmed that this was H5N1 avian flu.

As of 3pm, November 5, the avian flu has affected the chicken farmers in 15 towns within Heishan county. On 4pm, Liaoning county organized its government personnel to engage in culling all domestic birds within the areas affected by avian flu in Heishan county. The process was completed by noon on November 6, with more than 6 million domestic birds culled plus the destruction of more than 15 million chicken eggs stored for the off season.
