Have there been any cases in MI of either strain? Most migratory birds are nesting and feeding young at this point.
If any one has been exposed to it and lost birds they should probably opt out of coming. But the purpose of this is to meet each other as well as move birds, maybe we could do this with out birds involved? It would give us more time to get to know people.
Just a thought.
I like this idea. I'm learning more and more about it. I don't think it's media driven whatsoever. Even the APA is cancelling shows. Some states have closed off shipping any birds (and even hatching eggs) in or out. 4-H has cancelled exhibitions, even state fairs are talking about no poultry of any type being allowed. I say: Better safe than sorry.
