Several cases of Avian Influenza have been found in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influe...ity-advice
If you keep poultry, have a look at the map and see if there are near you. Be vigilant.

Hi Veggie / all (not sure who else keeps chooks)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55201167

Does this impact how you look after your girlies?

Yes, it does, Danny. They'll need to be confined to barracks or a covered area.
Its not too bad here though as there are no lakes/rivers for ducks and geese nearby and I'm the only chook keeper that I know of in the area. Its hard on the commercial freerange egg farms though.

Ok so the ones at our plot are ok as long as they stay in their alloted areas?

I'll be interested to see if any of the local farm ones are about. They bowel around the church grounds and streets like they own the placeSmile

Their allotted areas need to be netted to keep out wild birds.
