Avian Flu (H5N1) - Discussion

[All4Eggz]

How has the Avian Flu effected your flock?
If any of your birds have been infected, how did you overcome this and make sure it didn’t spread to the other birds? Treatment methods?

My flock has not yet been infected, thank God.

Some things I found interesting.
Opinions?

I had one hen that was showing possible symptoms of Bird Flu, I culled her immediately, after my sister discovered her.

I am a bit confused… and a silly question, but is this the same as Avian influenza?

Yes, Flu is short for Influenza.

Are you meaning the one currently on the news or any bird flu?

 

[All4Eggz]

Are you meaning the one currently on the news or any bird flu? Because H5N1 isn't the one causing all the panic currently

Not sure. That’s what I heard in the video linked above. Which one is currently causing all the panic?
