A good visual look at how biosecurity can work in your flock.

Having coveralls and gumboots in your shed specifically for the poultry pens is a great idea! 👢

I'd also use some laserlite or similar to cover the tops of the pens from wild birds and make it easier to keep your litter clean and dry 👍

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
