Just started following. WOW. Scarey stuff.
My heart is with you!

It made me start thinking, and I realized a biosecurity breach right here that I had never considered....the utility access!
My gas meter has to be read every month...and it is located right in the middle of my poultry pasture. They don't even call to access my property anymore. They DO walk across every other chicken-pooped property before they get to mine.
Anyone else thought about this?
Gas/water/electric meters and lines are accessed freely whenever.
Could this put our birds at risk????
YOU BET!!!
Just thinking out-loud.....

One of the highest risks (I was told about) is our freindly neighborhood feed store ! Think about it:
Hundreds of us poultry people are walking in & out of that feed store...And that is when a friend of mine asked another great question: What about the feed itself ?
Where is the feed from ?
Iowa ?????
Kansas ?
Minnesota ?
Could our feed contain minute traces of infection, like a sick 'tweety' song bird flies over the grain & poos..............?
I have no answer for that !

You should just be able to take a screen shot of the pdf and save it as an image file and upload it. Shoot me a PM if you need help.

The hard part is the PDF has 17 maps in it...and trying to copy (or print) just 1 or 2 is difficult. Inset maps (like the state of SD, MN & IA are pages 3a, 3c, 3d, and so on, and my printer does not recognize these pages as valid page numbers.................

It is OK, I have the copy/scan down to a science now Thanks !

Well, it would take more than two, but think how much room I'd have in my tummy for the bacon!!

@johnskoi, Glad to hear that all your birds are doing well!!

@thegawd, Thanks for posting those links, two excellent articles! I rotate all my poultry at least every other day, and they are all fed fermented non GMO feed. I'm going to start giving them garlic and herbal supplements on a regular basis to help boost their immune systems. Thankfully we don't have any commercial poultry farms nearby, and very few migratory water fowl. I'm not going to import any birds/eggs from out of state. If I do have to bring in any new birds I'll get them from local, reputable breeders. Praying that this outbreak blows over soon!
