Just received some news from a contact who has some direct involvement with the Indiana DNR. Turns out that they have a good chance of getting this under control, the elimination efforts are going well. So far, they have not found any trace of this virus in chickens. Only turkeys. They are...

OH isn't this wonderful...... http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/new-bird-flu-virus-strain-shuts-down-indiana-turkey-farm-n497531

Ohio's State wide import/ export/ transport ban is lifted also as of two days ago.

It seems to me that she's done enough. Just watch your flock, and see what happens. No point in worrying about it. If your flock remains healthy, count your blessings.

Hmmm.

Absolutely true. What's a cackleberry?

The USDA has brought the hate upon themselves, by all their bad calls. Not only with the chickens, but I have heard from some of my wildlife rehab friends that the USDA has made some really boneheaded decisions in their field, also. I mean to the point where you're scratching your head and...

Poultry (at least chickens) don't get West Nile.

If I strongly suspected AI, i would feel like I had to call the USDA, even though I wouldn't want to. It would not be fair to others, not to. However, I know all too well how they can be. Years ago we had ILT in our flock, and USDA put us under quarantine, but back then they were friendly...

Guys. Cool it all around, OK? I think everyone is right, here. I would want to know what's killing those birds. But, TherryChicken called. A couple of times. So enough calling. If it were me, I would anonymously take them there, say I lived somewhere else, and here, test these birds, if...

If they are chickens and you have no waterfowl and you have no sick chickens yet, that's a good thing.

Are your chickens ok? I would call them again and make a big deal about it. There's something wrong there.

yeah. One of my points exactly. These people are going way overboard.

Thought this was interesting...just goes to show....just saying. Avian flu finding on Nebraska farm goes unconfirmed; quarantine lifted Three weeks of follow-up testing on a big Nebraska egg farm never confirmed preliminary tests that showed avian influenza there, prompting an end to the...

Good point about the feed stores Speckled Hen. I started thinking about that quite some time ago.

That is outrageous and terrifying. That is what I'm afraid they will try to do here and we are right in the bulls eye as there's a commercial farm not far away. We need birds but no way am I buying anything from anyone right now. If i were those people whose birds were slaughtered, I'd be...

Hope it stays there....

Makes sense to me!!!!!

I saw the stupidest commercial about AI last night. I should have paid more attention, I was tired, trying to relax, but the commercial made me furious. I should have paid more attention cause I woulda called the station and raised cain. It was a cutesie commercial explaining what AI is and...
