Hen Rehoming Latest Update
The Avian Influenza, the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent 3rd nationwide lockdown on January 5, 2021 have brought our rehoming efforts to a halt. Whilst we would like to be able to continue to rehome hens, at this time we have to act to protect our staff, volunteers and adopters alike — strictly within both the COVID-19 and DEFRA lockdown restriction
Avian Influenza Latest Update
From 14th December 2020 a housing order comes into force across the UK. All poultry will need to be kept under cover, away from wild birds from that date until further government advice.
Avian Influenza Latest Update
On Friday 19th March APHA released a statement updating the Avian Influenza situation. From 31st March (at 23:59) the housing order that kept birds inside will end. With this in mind, please be aware that “requiring enhanced biosecurity will remain in force” and high standards of biosecurity should remain essential as there is still a risk of infection.
APHA has stated, “If you intend to allow your birds outside after 31 March, 2021, you must take action now to prepare the outside areas.” To find out more about how to prepare, read the government guidance here.
