[fashionfobie]

I read this in The Guardian but thought it make be helpful for any UK based chicken keepers. See link below:

Great point!

Maybe @Administrative can change the title to all outdoor bird keepers @Shezbug Just to help people realise it is more inclusive than just chickens.

Oh my, personally I wouldn’t be happy with that You never know what happens if bird flu hits your area, in mycountry when there was a contagious disease among goats, pet goats were culled to preventt spreading. I hope the registry if just to keep track of things and not anything like that when bird flu hits.

Some guidance on the site for people who do keep birds outdoors in the UK might be worth checking out

Personally, I think that is exactly what will happen
