What changes can I make to my chicken housing to reduce the risk of Avian Influenza?
You will need to make sure that your chickens have more than enough space in their run to be kept there 24/7 for some months, we advise where possible, 1 sqm per bird. The run should ideally have weldmesh no larger than 1/2″ aperture, and a cover which will keep out the rain and wild bird droppings. Pop a disinfectant/anti-viral footbath either outside or just inside your run and ensure that you dip your feet before entering and on exit.
