Not a maran

Cute pullets :)

I’m going to wait until I get a for sure notice so I don’t upset her for no reason,but I always try to be honest and not sugar coat things. She knows the animals get sick and die.i don’t want to raise her thinking a goldfish ran away lol. So if I do get a notice I won’t explain the whole thing...

I do. It’s very strange because I haven’t seen anything from any neighbors yet. I’m wondering if no one wants to identify themselves as owning chickens. But honestly the city I live in almost everyone has some sort of farm animal in their yard lol.

Since they just announced the city I’m in as being mandatory euthanize yesterday I’m assuming it’ll take them a few days to get to everybody but I’m hoping we’re in a neighborhood that is excluded. I wish they had that information available but they don’t so it’s a waiting game right now. And...

That’s what I’d expect. They’d probably ask for receipts or something ridiculous

I’m not sure, I know it won’t amount to what goes into raising them. If I get a yellow notice I’ll share it on here with the information.

Not yet, I’m hoping I don’t get one and maybe I’m in one of the lucky neighborhoods. But I won’t be surprised if one arrives in the next few days.

Yes

They are going door to door in areas they have deemed mandatory euthanasia zones and leaving flyers. Then you have to schedule an appointment for them to come get your birds to euthanize. The website states that even if your birds have previously tested negative for the virus you will still be...

Yes definitely wouldn’t hesitate to contact them immediately if they showed any signs of the disease.

So I reread the page for probably the 20th time today and it does say this “ USDA/CDFA staff will contact affected bird owners with orders specific to their property” so I should receive something if I’m in the zone for euthanasia

Thank you I appreciate that. This is my first flock we moved here last year so it seemed so devastating to invest all the work and lose it all .

Do you think I should keep them locked in their coop until it’s over or they do visit me lol? They free range in our yard only.

Thank you. When I called there wasn’t even an option to talk to someone. From what I could find online I would have most likely received a notice or visit already so I’m hopeful we aren’t in the euthanasia zone.

From what I read on the site it appears that way because it says none of those birds can be purchased until the outbreak is cleared it said about 120 days after euthanasia

Yes, I plan on it. Since the city is listed I’m not expecting to keep my birds but I’ll try to be optimistic that my neighborhood is ok.

That’s awful. I don’t want to lose my birds but it’s selfish to jeopardize everyone else because of it. :(
