Biosecurity For Birds Press Release Masthead-color.jpg
Free Webinar and Twitter Chat Offer Expert Tips for Healthy Backyard Poultry
While good biosecurity is always a good way to protect the health of backyard poultry, it is even more important right now. Highly pathogenic avian influenza cases were confirmed in some areas of the country earlier this year and proper biosecurity is essential to prevent this disease from entering a flock or spreading to new flocks. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is encouraging all backyard bird owners to practice good biosecurity and is offering a free webinar and Twitter chat to help new and veteran poultry owners learn more about maintaining healthy flocks.
The hour-long webinar will take place on Thursday, August 6 at 7 p.m. EDT, 6 p.m. CDT, 5 p.m. MDT and 4 p.m. PDT. To guarantee a place at the webinar, register now at healthybirdswebinar.com and then enter the password: Chickens. A Twitter chat will run alongside the webinar. Join the Twitter chat using ‪#‎Chickenchat‬ 2015 to get answers to your questions. To submit advance questions for either event, post them Healthy Harry’s Facebook page.
The event is hosted by Andy Schneider, also known as “The Chicken Whisperer

,” a national media personality who serves as the Biosecurity For Birds campaign spokesperson and Dr. Jo Anna Quinn, a veterinary medical officer and poultry health specialist with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Dr. Megin Nichols, a health investigator from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also will participate.
These experts will share information and answer questions about raising backyard poultry, how to keep your flocks free from disease and predators and how to protect your family from disease your birds might spread. They will explore such topics as what to expect from your birds during the fall and ways to protect your flock during cold winter months.
The USDA webinar and chat is part of its Biosecurity For Birds outreach campaign to help educate backyard bird owners about steps they can take to protect their flocks from disease.

That's insane! Good ole' uncle same kicking in his fun.

To elaborate, they still don't have any sound science on where it's coming from. They suspect wild game birds, but if that was the case why are a huge number of factories getting hit hard, and a handful of back yard flocks. And all you have to do is cook your eggs completely and no worries. This whole thing is just insane to me.

Actually they do know that waterfowl are carriers - they can keep trucking even with a hi load. They aren't dying from it either - they may be positive for it but dead waterfowl it hasn't been the cause of death. Turkeys even a low load croak in 2-9 days. Guineas even worse. Chickens apparently can throw off a low load - so thoughts are that in commercial facilities resistance and density issues come into play. They do have a vaccine now that seems to be 100% effective, working on a way to differentiate between vacinated and exposed. Also talking to trade partners to change position on not accepting birds if vacination program in play. Need to do something as with AI outbreaks they aren't allowing exports either. Temps need to hit 140F to kill it so incubating eggs won't do the job.

Does anyone know if there will be chickens at the state fair ?

 

[TytoAlba]

According to the website there will be no out-of-state poultry allowed at exhibitions. http://www.mostatefair.com/notice-for-msf-poultry-exhibitors

But they still have poultry shows scheduled so I assume that means in-state chickens are allowed. http://www.mostatefair.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2015-llama-poultry-and-rabbits.pdf
