Morning all and happy new year
Does anyone know if the restrictions will be extended? I imagine they will be but I'm finding it hard to get any info.
I've 2 7 week old chickens in the front room still and now they can half fly although it's quite funny it's a bit of a pain lol
I've only 4 chickens and 1 day old chick outside that are locked up in 2's
After starting to integrate the 4 together then locking them up separately imagine I'll have to do it all over again

Cheers

I have not heard anything about the restrictions being extended and I hope it stays that way

I'm not surprised it's a pain still having them in the room! Bet it's dusty for you too

Yeah well at least it gives the vacuum something to do lol
I imagined they would be outdoors by now

At least they are tame and pretty much walk onto your hand and would sit on your knee all day watching tv
They will be

When I go back to work this week, but it will give them time to plan their mischief, they pile wood shavings against the door so when you open it it falls on you which seems to amuse them

Here we go!

First case in Italy: a dead wild duck found in Northern Italy has tested positive for bird flu.

Sorry I don't mean to sound horrible but im more interested in what's happening in the uk I mean we had all that with the turkeys in Lincolnshire then nothing and I want to know

what's going on is there a extension on lock down

my ducks are not happy as I have emptied pond to stop wild birds using it I might phone up and ask

Hi sweetie

Nothing on DEFRA site to say there is an extension. Hopefully we can all relax on Friday

S0rry about that but don't panic. We've had a few but isolated incidents.

Don't worry, you are absolutely right

I didn't want to be off topic

I had previously answered a question by Barbara about the bird flu in Europe and in particular in Italy and I said that there were no cases here. But unfortunately now there is one, the first here. I just thought I'd give you a quick update of the current situation

I know that turkeys are the most sensitive targets of this disease (turkeys are very sensitive animals in general)

I hope that this period of uncertainty will pass quickly and that you will receive good news

S0rry about that but don't panic. We've had a few but isolated incidents.

Hi

I'm happy that the situation is not serious there, after all Europe is a small continent and the virus can travel very quickly

I hope your animals are fine
