I just heard a local petting zoo in my area had avian flu in their ducks and geese. Should I be worried? I have lost so many birds recently If my chickens get avian flu I don't think I could do this anymore.

Hey, are you in the UK? My area is riddled in avian flu now. We are sorting all the measures tomorrow but I have Chickens and Ducks, so worried as its spread so quickly near us 😩
 
How are your chickens kept? Are they currently contained so that they can’t mix with wild birds (ie in a coop with roof)? I think that’s all you can do realistically, maybe a foot dip at the door so you don’t carry anything in on your feet. Your chickens should be pretty safe then but I appreciate it’s a worry.

They are kept in a coop in my barn and they have an outdoor run. But they get out of their run all the time.
