Show Notes
Connecticuts Department of Agriculture warns poultry owners and backyard flock keepers to enhance biosecurity measures due to the ongoing threat of bird flu. The virus, which can kill most infected poultry and cause significant economic losses, has been detected in backyard flocks in recent years. Spring is a high-risk period for outbreaks, with waterfowl like mallard ducks often carrying the virus. To protect flocks, owners should follow strict hygiene practices, keep birds away from wild birds, quarantine new additions, and report any sick birds promptly to state vets.
