I have a small flock of chickens and I live in the county. Is it safe to keep them? |

Yes. There is no reason to at this time remove your
flock of chickens. But backyard poultry owners and
small poultry producers should practice good biosecurity
by restricting access to their property, disinfecting
shoes, clothes, and hands and reporting sick or
suspicious birds to a veterinarian or extension agent.
More information on how to protect your backyard flock
can be found at the USDA's "Biosecurity for the Birds"
program.
