    Just seen in the Daily Wail that Bird Flu has been found in Turkeys on a farm in Lincolnshire.A lot of the birds have already died and the rest according to the article will have to be destroyed.:sad:

    Hope that any members with chickens who live out that way or anywhere else in the UK won't be affected by this terrible disease now that it is on our shores:sad:

      Not good, and it must be a disaster for the Turkey Farmer.

        There's a 3km exclusion zone and 10km surveillance zone around the farm.

        My usual piece of useless information:-

        Avian flu is officially known as Newcastle Disease.
