I'm gonna guess you're referring to this that's going around on facebook. Some people have already said they've called the state and been told it's not true. I checked the USDA website because once something is confirmed it's posted immediately and didn't see anything. Sure would like to know where this supposed rumor started from and how...

Thank you. Can you tell us where we can check on the USDA site? Like what section? I've had a look but bot able to find anything even about California.

@starri33 I think you posted the article with a place to go for a "hotline" You can use that - maybe it'll help. https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2019/04/08/arizona-chicken-flock-disease/

I'm trying 2 different heights for feeders outside. Pigeons can't reach either one so I'm hoping they'll stop coming over here with no food available. Damn neighbor.

I just went to the usda.gov site, clicked on USDA Newsroom, then put Newcastle in the search bar. There is nothing put out that's new on Newcastle since it was confirmed in Coconino county three weeks ago. If it was confirmed anywhere else they would have posted it and it would show up there.

Thank you! I was definitely looking in the wrong place

starri have you called them? I would call and tell them you're concerned and why you want to know if anyone has been out there. It's not unreasonable to request info if they were actually out there.

Haven't yet, planning on that Monday

Thank you ladies.. I appreciate it very much, I've hatched chicks recently for replacements for a lady, I do not want to go giving her chicks that might not be well and infect her other hens. Bird Haven has retracted their post.. it's scary when you don't know what to believe and what not to believe, even a post made by Orange County CA was incorrect and they yanked that one.
