Avian flu Protection Measures in force.

Thanks @Kidds and @landslave the 2nd !

How often has this happened?

Buggered if I know. Maybe remove uneaten food and similar measures.
It is one heck of a warning and list of procedures when there hasn't been any cases found yet. Sometimes feel they do this to ruin the Christmas trade. (I doubt they do)

2014 I think, same time of year.

Hello, I work for BBC Breakfast TV. Short notice I know but I'm seeking a poultry farmer who may be willing to speak to us tomorrow morning - that's Weds morning, so in around 8 hours. If you fit that bill or know someone who might be willing, please call 0161 335 7600 - ask for Will. I'm here all through the night.

@Kidds I just noticed you are Warrington-based. We make the show in Salford, so just down the road! If you see this message tonight and can possibly talk, please give me a shout on 0161 335 7600. Thanks.

 

[Kidds]

Well I did but got your answerphone.

 

[Will B]

Apologies. Would you mind trying again or emailing me with your number? My address is [email protected]

Do we get to talk to the great Dan Walker?!

I don't mind but we are a long way from Salford.

Can I suggest contacting BFREPA who will have a spokesperson available? Link to their media centre: http://www.bfrepa.co.uk/Page/BFREPA-Council-Members_24.html

It's Dan and Louise in the morning so you have a 50/50 chance! Thanks for that link Dan, it's useful. However if you could give me a quick call to chat I'd still be grateful.

Also @Kidds if you get chance to try that number again, I'd be grateful to have a quick word. 0161 335 7600.

Thanks

This has got to be made public, there are many people now with a few chooks in their back yard. If I hadn't seen here I wouldn't have known.

I agree, nothing at all on social media, other than from me via our Twitter feed - nor from farming press.
