gnipper 5,944 Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Is their still bird flu restrictions in place? How can keepers legally catch up hens and move them to the game farms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think I’ll start letting mike out, Cos truth is if I have to keep them in any longer I’d rather kill em, they look proper unhappy being cooped up now after a life of doing as they please The committee at the allotments interpreted the letter differently. I thought it meant free range birds had to be penned. The Chairman thought penned birds had to locked in their coops. My birds are penned so I left it at that. I said get the council to come out and explain what we were to do, but they never came, so nothing changed for me. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
