The Chief Veterinary Officer has extended a Prevention Zone to help protect poultry from avian flu
This applies to everyone,wether you have 1 bird or 50+
- Birds must be kept in covered runs
- Wild birds (and their droppings) should not be able to get in
- Ideally you should use a footpath to dip boots in before entering the run
