Thank you.There has been a commercial turkey farm in Lenoir County tested positive with avian influenza. Probably 35-40 miles from me and I know you are close too. I won't be too surprised if a few more cases pop up especially in this area.
I don't do anything different other than normal biosecurity measures as usual. When this stuff started we tarped the portion of the run that did not have a shelter to keep out wild bird feathers or poo. I have coop boots I never wear to town especially the feed store. Some make a foot bath with bleach or oxine by the coop. I just keep mine inside the back door of the house on a boot tray. I do wear them in my yard. I figure if a contaminant is in my yard the birds are exposed anyway.
I don't mean to alarm anyone. Just wanted you aware.

It is not listed on the USDA site yet. They are slow to update.
This is for commercial and backyard flocks.

This one is for wild birds. Mostly ducks and birds of prey.

This is for mammals. There was a bear in Hyde Co. a while back.

Maybe if they stopped killing birds it would give the population the opportunity to develop immunity.There has been a commercial turkey farm in Lenoir County tested positive with avian influenza.

Those in authority decided to vaccinate zoo animals with the experimental C19 shots. Many of those zoo animals have died.I love to read! I read a lot! Kind of nerdy like that.
There is very little written about natural immunity out there that I can find. Little to none from media.
Make no mistake bird flu is real and is killing tons of poultry, wild birds and mammals sadly. It is a risk to humans although rare at this point. It does mutate like viruses do.
The US has/is doing a vaccine trial in the endangered Calif. Condor. I have been trying to follow it. The most recent update I have found states the following about unvaccinated wild Peregrine Falcons. Birds of Prey have be badly affected by this flu.
The Peregrine Fund conducted winter trapping designed to overlap with hunting season to evaluate lead levels in the Southwest flock in Arizona. During this routine trapping, blood samples were collected to determine whether any of the birds showed antibody titers to HPAI, indicating exposure to the virus. So far, samples from 21 birds have been collected and tested. About half of the samples show natural antibody titers to the H5N1 strain of HPAI meaning the birds were exposed to the virus and naturally survived.

I do not really want to vaccinate my birds. I do feel like if commercial operations had access to a good vaccine. The bureaucrats would have less interest in people's private flocks.
