Indiana Ban on all poultry in and out until end of year?

Just a heads up. I don't have a good link, but just heard this from two facebook groups that this was just announced. I"m not in Indiana, but this might put a big damper on some swaps.

A necessary evil, I'm afraid - with the incubation period and risk of infection at these sorts of events it would only take one sick bird to wreak havoc on a whole lot of flocks.

Does it affect shipping eggs? I"m assuming so......It IS good to be cautious.

I think it's only events where birds come from several location to co-mingle in one location. Not transporting eggs or birds from one private location to another private location.

correct....only events involving the comingling of birds...however, as demonstrated by a recent thread regarding someone who had received hatching eggs from a hatchery that tested positive after the fact, it is still a concern.
