Howdy all,

My SO showed me this article regarding the disease found in Redwood City.

I was going to pick up some brahma chicks from a local feed store but now I'm nervous...

Hope everyone is good out there!

It is interesting that our own BYC member @micstrachan is interviewed in the article in post 1. Sad about the disease spreading, but people should be responsible about biosecurity.
