Avian Flu hits NJ

[Wee Farmer Sarah]

You might want to check that news story closely @CKfarm22. I googled bird flu in New Jersey and found a story on a NJ news website reporting on the bird flu detected in Texas. Hopefully that’s what you saw.

I did check it closely… and read all of it. The whole point of this thread was how i can prevent my birds from getting it, not getting checked about an article i clearly read about NJ and the avian flu.

Yes. Check the APHIS site. The 21 ducks in Cape May have been reported on there since February. So far nothing beyond that though I suspect it is lack of monitoring as there is no logical reason why NJ would be spared but not NY.

Thank you. If it hits NY or even PA, DE any of the surrounding states i’m sure it’ll spread to NJ too.

It is already in NY, CT and New England. Also Delaware.
PA is a mystery like NJ very limited cases (one dead bald eagle).

Weird… but i wouldn’t doubt that it’s here. Considering those ducks were only in feb

There are very precise instructions on the Aphis website regarding bio security for your flock. Primarily, keeping your flock in a secure covered coop and run are the first thing to do. Make sure there is no way for any wild birds to make contact with your flock. I only cautioned you about news stories because I’ve run across several that sensationalize cases of the bird flu but can be very misleading. In some locales the animal control officers are being quite vigilant and passing along the current status on the threat in their areas. Unfortunately there are too few that are taking this seriously.

Follow the directions is the best you can do, there is no 100% proof way. Do the best you can, and follow the directions.

Yes, confirmed here in MA. Does anyone know how long this could last? I know it's based on migratory patterns. I'm just wondering if this is going to be an all-summer thing?
