HEADS UP AVIAN INFLUENZA ALERT

[speckledhen]

Not yet, unless it mutates.
And eggs are safe.

I read that a set of hatching eggs tested positive from this strain, could have been bad wording in the article. They are destroying hatching eggs, all birds hatched from them and resident flocks on the premises where the eggs were sent, regardless of test results. But, they are not consistent. Heard of some lady who hired a lawyer to stop them from taking her negative-result flock and got them to just quarantine hers.

So have other people been finding dead or sick birds as well? I am practically holding my breath to see what you find out but it sure doesn't sound good.

I honestly don't know. We been waiting and waiting for a call back to have them tested with no luck. We really want this done so we can know

I can imagine! I am sure it has you very worried. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it's something else.
