IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE TO ALL CHICKEN/POULTRY KEEPERS
Hello fellow plot holders
I just wanted to bring to your attention a new government law announced in March that is being implemented as of October this year. The extract below in speech marks has been taken from the government website.
"New measures to better protect the poultry sector from future avian influenza outbreaks have been set out by the government today (19 March).
Under the changes announced there will be new requirements for all bird keepers - regardless of the size of their flock - to officially register their birds. Currently only those who keep 50 or more poultry must do so, limiting the effectiveness of our national disease control measures."
It will affect anyone that is keeping chickens/birds/poultry outdoors. For more information regarding this please visit the government webpage, linked here or Google 'chicken registration uk law' to find it on the government website.
