Essential biosecurity and housing requirements for chicken and turkey keepers
Keep your chickens and turkeys housed. If you do not have a purpose-built building you could use a garden shed, garage or polytunnel provided there is adequate light and ventilation.
-
If there are any gaps in your poultry housing where wild birds could get in, block them or cover with netting.
-
If it is impossible for you to house your birds you must keep them separate from wild birds in a totally netted enclosure.
-
Feed and water must be indoors.
-
Do not keep your birds in the same buildings or enclosures as ducks or geese.
-
Make your premises unattractive to wild birds.
-
Use bird scarers, foils or streamers.
-
Store bedding inside to reduce the risk of contamination.
-
Non-compliance with these biosecurity measures may be an offence.
