SpringDon Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Are poultry owners ready for the bird housing order on the 14th? We are using a polytunnel but it’s a really pain netting the access. Anyone got any bright ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringDon Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Or more directly...https://www.gov.uk/government/news/avian-influenza-bird-flu-national-prevention-zone-declared but it does seem a bit mad given the number of pheasants and stuff round here.

loriusgarrulus Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 It stops you losing your chickens.Also you normally have close contact with your chickens, so protects you. We don't keep chickens now, but put then in a roofed over pen last time there was a bird flu outbreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
