Just google MDARD, it's the Michigan Department of Agriculture.
I get email notifications from their site.

Thanks for the link.

Sorry that I didn't say what it was. I found it, and got called away, so just dropped it in and left.

Yes, it goes in effect May 8 - Jun 9. Had to post it for my swap-n-meet group letting them know that we will not be able to bring birds to the swap.

No issues here, may it stay that way! We will manage a tighter ship again, and hope to avoid disaster. Glad we don't have cattle any more, limiting visitors, and we do have many fewer wild geese this year. A very good thing!
May all our critters stay healthy!

Here is a link to an MDARD page which lists multiple HPAI website links: https://www.michigan.gov/mdard/anim...m=email&utm_source=govdelivery#current-status

And a quote from this page:

"Please Note: HPAI is NOT evidenced by one dead bird or one coughing/sneezing bird while the remainder of the flock is acting normally. Instead, for small flock owners, look for two or more dead birds within a 24-hour period and symptoms in the rest of the flock (not eating, acting lethargic or sleepy with eyes closed, tucking their head close to their body, and appearing to be puffed up)"
