It’s strongly advised for all small flock owners to immediately implement biosecurity measures on their property and curtail interactions with other birds – both wild and domestic – for the time being to minimize the spread of this disease.   Pay close attention to footwear – use cleanable/disinfect-able footwear or disposable boots and footbaths at their chicken coops.
