[QUOTE="ZXR17, post: 3339404, member: 604"] Avian Flu now confirmed here in Dorset at the Abbotsbury Swannery. The area has high numbers of migratory birds so I suppose the out break is not surprising. Luckily there are very few commercial poultry units in the area but a lot of 'backyard' hens including my own. So where do we stand as there appears to be very little to no guidance. Can it be spread on walkers boots? Although our yard is 3 to 4 miles from the Swannery I believe sick birds have been picked up from the foreshore on our farm. The coast path which is heavily used all year passes right through our farm and through our yard. Should we be setting up disinfectant foot baths? [/QUOTE]
