Don't be......

I agree.

All you can do is your best. When you think of how many people keep chickens in the UK it would be extremely bad luck for your lovely chickens to catch it.

I'm more worried about missing my 6 lovely ladies, and my 4 cats, when I go back to work tomorrow after 2 months sickness. I have got so used to spending loads of time with them -that is the bit am really dreading- not going back to school ha ha.

Keep smiling x

Hi and the thread!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your silkie
Do you just keep silkies or do you have other breeds too?

Very nice, I keep mainly polish and they are fab little birds. Very friendly and quite comical at times I'm sure you would enjoy a couple of them

I have some polish eggs in incy at moment so fingers crossed for a successful hatch,this bird flu is very worrying I'm unsure whether to let my birds out to free range or keep them in their runs.

Our two have been kept in their pen and covered with plastic sheeting since the restrictions were first in place. Now there are more cases of bird flu in the uk we have cleared the garage this weekend and put heir pen in there. Luckily it's big enough and gets lots of natural light. Everybody can only do their best to keep their birds from coming in contact with wild birds but I'd at least keep them cooped up and cover their pen if possible. Definitely make sure their food and water is out of reach of any wild birds or their droppings.
