    I'm wondering how long we have to worry about Avian Flu. I live in Sacramento, CA and there was a case of the flu in a nearby town. I've been keeping my chickens in their coop and away from the dogs and baby. How long do I have to keep up the quarantine?

    Your chickens will not give your baby the flu. But, as long as birds are migrating, there is danger of Avian flu.
