Personally I don't think anything should be done to "protect" the concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO). If their birds get sick and die its because keeping them inside doesn't keep them healthy (as you mentioned), and they need to change the way THEY do things and leave everyone else do to what they've been happily doing for hundreds of years (showing birds at country fairs). Although I do need to discuss this with our hens, there is one in particular that has been hanging around on the veranda a lot and I think that she would come inside if there wasn't a screen door in her way. She probably thinks we keep the sunflower seeds in there. ALSO reporting dead chickens! That's hilarious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-16992080009675925892015-06-03T18:38:33.061-04:002015-06-03T18:38:33.061-04:00We don't have it in France, but some years ago...We don't have it in France, but some years ago we did. The mayor came round and told us to lock up our chickens where the wild birds could not get to the food, nor poop on their ground. So, we locked them up in the little barn. The chickens were very unhappy and overcrowded but we managed. Lots of other people didn't bother. The flu burnt itself out.

They requested that people quarantine their poultry for 30 days before and after the fair. But the fair is still 6 weeks away so who knows what will happen.seyreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760145069917378505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-65033121938512863112015-06-03T17:17:27.635-04:002015-06-03T17:17:27.635-04:00We had a very smart Premier of Alberta when the ma...We had a very smart Premier of Alberta when the mad cow disease went through. His advise was to " shoot,shovel and shut up" I agree keep the officials out.
