Avian Flu Housing Order

barjamhill

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has any updates on this situation.

I have hens in a polytunnel since the first notification of avian flu came through. A month or so later i got a text from the Dept Agriculture with the compulsory housing order. No updates on Dept website since December

Since then, nothing new. I see a lot of big poultry operators on social media with their birds already outside. Am i missing something or has the threat already passed?
