Backyard flocks here in the Pacific North West are at risk also. The Pacific Flyway goes over the top of us and migratory birds have been spreading avian flu everywhere they go. There have been warnings for people to take precautions, but I don't know what you can do. We don't have chickens, but sometimes I think we should.

We've got 13 egg layers that are 2yrs plus. While they have slowed down a bit, I'm glad to have them now. I better raise my prices at work :)
