Bird flu lockdown end?

[Grassman]

Soon be a month without a recorded case. Think the last was a very small scale case on 31 December.
I wonder how long we have to go before we can let them out again. Getting very difficult with our 300 free range layers.

Not heard about end dates?

No. Nothing. I was just hopeful they would lift restrictions after a period without any cases.

They will but that period hasn't been reached yet. Still being found in wild birds.

Same here. Very annoying. I have 300 layers struggling in our poultry sheds. They are used to being out most of the day unlike the 16000 bird "free range" sheds where birds hardly go out.
Seems rules are just for those who choose to comply in this country. You 9nly have to look at the masses ignoring the covid rules.

So I see. I thought we were doing well. Nearly a month without any captive bird outbreaks.
