BANGKOK (Reuters) - The bird flu rampaging across Asia, killing chickens and humans alike, is starting to take the C out of KFC.

In Vietnam, the U.S. fast food chain known for its fried chicken said Tuesday it had closed almost all its outlets while it switched to a fish menu, as customers were unwilling to tuck in to chicken.

Eight KFC restaurants were shut Monday in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's commercial center, which has banned the sale of poultry and culled more than two million chickens.

"It has been very hard for us," Nguyen Chi Kien, KFC's Vietnam deputy country director, told Reuters.
