ALABAMA!!

[Razadia]

I saw it a bit ago. They still don't have set definitions on anything. I'm waiting for a call to find out if I need to cancel my egg order and get my money back.

ETA: I got my call back. They said that anything coming from out of state from AI tested clean sites aren't subject to the no movement ban.

I prefer to buy from face to face sales, not some chick factory. So the ban does effect many.

 

[Razadia]

They're apparently still allowing private sales. They just don't want any large gatherings like shows and swaps going on.

We were worried about the in-out ban. We're real close to the quarantine area and have 74 chicks coming in next week from Meyer's.

I have 2 black silkie roosters in North Alabama that are in need of good homes. They are brothers who are together.

 

[Talithahorse]

Any one have information on what happens if it comes to your area? I have a small closed flock (not bringing anything in) but I live close to some chicken houses (not mine). MY concern is if one of them gets tagged, what will it do to my flock. I also have an inside bird and do not want to risk losing him at all.

Check with your county extension office. As of this evening no birds are to enter or exit Alabama. You might double check with Hatcherys on pending shipments

 

[Razadia]

Shipments from out of state NPIP breeders and hatcheries are still being allowed. That's part of the info they gave me when I got my callback.

Shipments from out of state NPIP breeders and hatcheries are still being allowed. That's part of the info they gave me when I got my callback.

Out here we have been warned there may be a restriction on any outgoing products.

I am unaware of any in coming shipments....so far as I have heard, it is just no outgoing...but that can change lickety split!




This in my mail today:


Alabama officials investigate 3 avian flu detections
Tony Frazier, DVM, Alabama's state veterinarian, said in a statement, "With three investigations of avian influenza in north Alabama on three separate premises we feel that the stop movement order is the most effective way to implement biosecurity for all poultry in our state." Farm, backyard flock, flea market involved.
One of the suspected outbreaks involves a commercial breeder operation in Lauderdale County, located in the far northwestern corner of the state where birds haven't shown significant mortality. Another is a backyard flock in Madison County near Huntsville. Both counties are on the Tennessee border.
