In August I arranged to get a Chantecler cockerel and 4 pullets, agreement was I would pickup in early December.
I have reached out to the breeder and have been advised that AI has been detected in a commercial turkey farm 10km away approximately 3 weeks ago.
I have done further investigation with the Canada Farm Inspection Agency and see that more active cases are present in southern Quebec although not in close proximity to my breeder.
He advised of the situation immediately when I contacted him and has confined his birds in covered cages. He also wants to wait to see if any signs of AI present.
Would appreciate any information and advice on how long AI takes to show together with any cautions given my desire to aquire these Chanteclers.
Thanks.
