**IMPORTANT NOTE** The UK Government updated it's guidance on 29th November 2021 to require that all UK poultry must legally be kept indoors or under fully netted enclosures. Free-ranging after this date and until further notice is no longer legal. All bio security requirements in this video continue to be valid but poultry MUST be housed or under fully netted enclosures, the free ranging section of this video is no longer valid.

Original Description:
The UK Government introduced an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone across the whole of Great Britain (England, Scotland & Wales) on 3rd November 2021. Every poultry keeper in England whether you have 1 pet chicken or 2000 livestock must legally take action to protect your flocks.

In this video I'll help you navigate the legal requirements of the guidance which is applicable to ALL poultry keepers (Schedule 1). The measures are very simple and even though they are presented very formally they really are just sensible bio-security measures. We CAN still free range our birds at this stage.
Please note that it you have 500 or more birds there are enhanced requirements that must be adhered to (Schedule 2). This video does not cover those requirements. Please download the guidance in the links below for more information.
