Bird Flu

[Ldensmore]

So, I live in Michigan where they have found traces of the bird flu. I have 6 ISA Browns. They are 17 weeks old. I live on a dead end dirt road and they have an enclosed run. I'm not sure if I should be worried about it or not. Aldo, what are some signs and symptoms?

Sudden deaths may be the first sign, but depression, blue combs, and signs of respiratory disease may be common. If your birds are not free ranged, and enclosed in a run, they shouldn't come in contact with waterfowl or other birds that could be infected. Here are some links to read:
