Just a little snapshot of things here. I’ve been pretty sick and just going day by day right now. Re bird flu - my chickens have always got out of their enclosures every single day. We currently have 14 enclosures here and the day is regimented in to allocated free range time slots. With bird flu rapidly taking over Victoria, at some point free range time will end. Right now I’m letting everyone out every second day to make this process less stressful. I’m going to gradually reduce their time out. We haven’t had any reported cases in the area for 3-4 weeks, but is inevitable. It’s all so bloody sad.
