🐔 I own pet chickens or birds - What do I need to do?
If you haven't already registered your chickens or other birds please do so ASAP at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-as-a-keeper-of-less-than-50-poultry-or-other-captive-birds
All poultry/birds in the 3km protection zone (blue circle on map) should be housed
All poultry in the protection zone should expect a phone call from APHA to confirm numbers, and then one to arrange a visit by a vet
In the surveillance zone expect a phone call from APHA and possibly a visit from a vet.
Please respond to these phone calls quickly so the zone can be cleared and housing requirements etc lifted
And finally a personal plea - we will probably be doing some of the visits so please be nice to our staff if they phone or visit you!
📍 Please see map at https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8cb1883eda5547c6b91b5d5e6aeba90d to see if you are in the prevention or surveillance zones
