Our chickens are being kept in their houses so there is no contact with wild birds, in line with DEFRA's recent ruling because of bird flu.
Where we live, we are the only people who have done this, literally everyone else who normally has chickens pecking around still has chickens pecking around, no effort has been made to keep them indoors.
So my poor chickens are leading a miserable existence, cooped up compared to their normal free ranging, but if other chickens in the area catch bird flu we'll lose our chickens as well as they are close by.
I've mentioned it to a few of the people I know, but they point out that so-and-so down the road hasn't locked their birds away, so there's no point.
Do I give up and let mine out? Do I shop all the others to defra?
Bloody irresponsible wankers
