So I am in Montana, but want to get some things straight in case it does show up here (not sure how likely that is).
1) If your flock is required to be destroyed, do you know if they will allow you to do it yourself? I just ask because i know my method is fast and about as painless as one can get and while it would break my heart, I'd rather have to do it myself than someone else that doesn't care for my animals that might botch it up
2) I have several pens with hard roofs and either chicken wire or hardware cloth walls. I also have a pen with netting on the roof instead of a solid roof. Would that pen be unsuitable even if the chickens cant get out?
3) I also have a group that isnt penned at all. If i had to destroy them because of that, would i also have to destroy the birds they dont have contact with on the property (the ones penned with solid roofs) or just them and the ones rhey do have contact with?
