BIRD FLU 2022. How can I prepare my flock?

[brookgus]

I live West of Ft. Worth, Texas and have a small flock of hens and a roo. I just read about the Bird Flu happening up north and it seems to be spreading rapidly. What can I do to keep my girls safe?

can you share the website you read about it? This is news to me, I also am in Texas, so just curious.

Thank you. Looks like I need to start watching the news again.

I don't watch a lot of the news. But the only time I heard it mentioned was when they said that the Detroit zoo was putting all their birds inside.

It's a big deal to us chicken people, but not to the world at large. Yet.
