Bird Flu ALERT for Consumers and Homesteaders / Avian Influenza
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- How to take stock and prepare yourself, your homestead and your flock against the 2022 bird flu. The avian influenza is now in America. There are already reported cases in the Carolinas, the Tyson Food Company in Kentucky and turkey farms in Indiana. Chicken and egg shortages could be developing.
What does this mean for consumers? What does this mean for homesteaders?
I will cover both these questions and a few others in this video.
Like what is the bird flu? How is the avian influenza transmitted? What are the symptoms (in chickens) of H5N1? What can you do to protect your flock from the bird flu?

great info thank you for the heads up.
It’s just now starting to hit new networks and I wanted to share out past experiences with others ❤️
Thanks for sharing this information. I don't watch TV because it gets me all wound up. Had no clue. Also the what to look for and what to do is great help! Thanks!
Gro Dat!!
We don’t watch much tv or news. I don’t think it’s a National “thing” at least not yet. But here in Indiana ppl are starting to share about the turkey farms. That’s what had me look into it and prompted the video.
Hopefully it will come to nothing…but it’s worth knowing and having a heads up.
Seems like this pops up every few years
Keeping all the homesteads in prayer that they stay safe, including yours
Sure does, some years worse than others. If it’s first year or two homesteading it can be bit scary. But plenty of precautions to take if ya have some heads up. Thank you ❤️
Good information.
Thank you 😊 ❤️
Great video as always 😎
Thank you 😊
Nice informative video Ma'am Angie. Take care of your chickens. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Hello Ramdas 👋 thank you and we most certainly will 👍
Great job Angie!
Thank you Robert ❤️
Great information Angie !! Might be time to start incubating eggs!!
*Have a good'nnn*
Hopefully they get a handle on things before it gets too bad. Incubating may not be a bad idea though…plus who doesn’t love chicks 🐥
Good to know. We're going to get some more chicks in the spring. Thanks for sharing!
Hopefully it doesn’t spread and the hatcheries stay open 🤞
It is scary and somewhat convenient that it is happening right after/during a lot of other crazy things in the world. Because we keep a rare breed, one of the ways we try to prevent a full flock cull, is to split our birds into multiple coops. That way if any appear to develope a illness, it only effects 1/4 of the flock. Now unfortunately with the bird flew, we have no ability from having to cull the whole flock if authorities say it is necessary. Hopefully it doesn't become a bigger problem. I think you are right about the availability and prices from hatcheries this year. Great video.
They say when it rains it pours right…hopefully we’ll see the rainbow soon! That’s a great idea to run multiple flocks. We had thoughts to do an early cull on the few we got last year at the end of this season…now I’m thinking we’ll hold off a year. Hopefully it’s contained soon and it won’t reach the point of causing availability and price increases but better to be prepared…especially the way things have been going.
Amazing video! Lots of great info! I hope it doesn't impact chick sales. I cleaned my incubator, just in case.
Last two rounds they shut down all chicken sales, even the chicks. You couldn’t find a chick anywhere, and if you could one was pretty weary about buying them. But it may not get as bad this round? The news is just now reporting it here, we’ve had another turkey farm just shut down. I just wanted people to be aware that it may cause an issue on down the road. 😉👍
Great information for anyone, even if you don't have chickens, I learned facts that I did not know about, thanks Angie
Thank you Jan ❤️ Hopefully they get things under control and are able to get back into production soon.
Fantastic information Angie love it
Thank you Bull that means a lot coming from someone I respect so much ❤️
Thank you for the information Angie,we just keep getting hammer and hammer what else going to be next ? Have good night.
I never like asking that question because there always seems to be a next if you do. Hopefully it won’t be too bad and we may not see much (if any) consequences? Hopefully 🤞
Hey thanks for the info✌
Thank you for commenting 👍
Thank you for the good information
I hope it helps others
Outstanding video Angie and very informative. Nice job getting out the much needed information out to the community. Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs!
Hopefully it helps everyone having a heads up ❤️
Great job my new family. Thank you so much for sharing God bless you
Thank you for stopping by ❤️
Great Video!! Full of information. We didn't know what bird flu was. Getting our chickens going this year is a priority. We didn't know there was a chicken auction either.. We may be asking for help soon! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day
I’m excited for y’all! I know you’ll be amazing chicken parents…they’ll be a lucky flock. There’s a auction house about a couple hours from our house they sell everything from cows, pigs, chickens, llamas even sell hay. It’s a pretty fun place to go but ya gotta watch because it’s also where some ppl unload their problem animals. Kenny doesn’t let me go anymore because “I can’t be trusted” 😂 He’s right…I’d have every critter roaming around out here 🤣 Been there, done that…feed bill was expensive! I’m always here for ya if I can help in any way ❤️
It just keeps getting worst and worst. We were planning on buying chicks but I think we will try to hatch ours when we can, just in case. Thank you for all these great info Angie. Truly appreciate it.
When it rains it pours but hopefully we’ll see the rainbow soon. I’m not sure if it’s hit any hatcheries, hopefully it won’t. But it’s definitely worth hatching a few extra if you’re able just to be safe. ❤️
Lots of really great info ! Our chickens haven't got it before but we got a high turnover rate and only the smart ones make it . Thank you so much for sharing !!
Hey there Aaric always good to see you. Thankfully we’ve never had it within our flocks. It can wipe out a giant flock in no time.
Wow Angie, you know your stuff! I learned so much in this one video, thank you! 🙌💖💐
Just been through it before 😉
uh-oh,....in years past heard about those outbreaks of the bird flu, and I always wondered how they started, well thanks to you Angie I now know how...being careful and on guard definitely pays off in minimizing the impact. Loved glimpsing your birds, and yeah they'll definitely scratch at everything, lol...I've seen videos here where they catch a mouse and the one with it running around, trying to keep it away from the others and to find some solitary niche where they can finally gulp the juicy morsel down! 😂👍and greetings👋 for Kenny and you!
HELLLLOOOOO JOE! Glad to help 😉 Oh yeah chickens will tear after all kinds of stuff…mice, small snakes, they are no holds bar on juicy snacks 😂
Thanks for the information!
Hope it was helpful ❤️
Great information sister thanks for sharing
Thank you ❤️
It's been going on it's awful such a worry 😟. Wonderful information my friend ❤️
It happens every few years…a little knowledge and heads help can help a lot ❤️
Great info on the bird flu! You shared a lot that I didn't know about it. We always try to keep things clean for our hen's health anyway for overall health so fingers crossed we don't see anything over this way either. Thanks for sharing!
Most of the things needed to protect a flock, most owners already do. But it’s nice to have a heads up to take make sure we keep our guard up 😉👍 Hopefully it blows over fast and there’s no one gets hit 🤞
Great video and good advice. We are thinking of getting an incubator just in case. Glad our runs are covered. 👍
That’s a great idea, it’s always good to have an incubator and fun to hatch 😉 Covered runs will GREATLY reduce your channels
YIKES! glad i found your channel but YIKES thanks for sharing the info
Welcome to our channel ❤️ Hopefully it doesn’t get too bad, but it’s good to have a heads up.
It'll be great!
Wow that’s crazy! I will say prayers for you guys hope everybody is doing well say hello to them for me please. I hope you guys get it all straightened out with the bird flu!😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello Miss Debbie 👋 We are doing good and so is our flock, we’ll be taking precautions 😉 ❤️
Wow that isn't good, but great information here for sure about it!! Prayers it misses y'all's flock and this irradicated asap! Thank you very much for all the insight!! Look fed to more!!
Thank you. Our flock should be good, I have no plans to add anymore this year. So just need to keep these girls healthy 👍
@@AbundantAcresHomestead Amen to that!!
Well that's not real good news, is it? Hopefully, past experience will help some of these large poultry companies have a better handle on it. Your chickens are looking healthy.
It’s not, but hopefully they get a handle on it before it gets worse. In the meantime we can do our part for our own homesteads.
Great information thank you for the elaborate explanation. Getting chickens this year so to more info the better. Starting from scratch with everything seems to be the way to go.
It’s definitely something to watch for but an ounce of prevention is the best medicine 😉
very good information , think ours will be ok we dont have a lot of overhead flyers to droop the poo , hope this doesnt affect you again this time
We haven’t bought and sold for awhile so it won’t be affecting us as it did in the past.
Great information. When I am ready I will ny eggs instead of chicks. Thamks for sharing. I hope id doesn't affect your homestead.
Thank you. Yeah I’ll be taking a few extra precautions to keep our flock healthy. Incubating eggs is more fun anyways 😉 ❤️
Thank you this was a very informative video I learned a lot from this video.
Thank you, thankfully I think the worst is over this season…I hope 🤞
Nice
Thank you 😊
😳 I have learned a lot I might just have to save this for a reference back to. New here just subscribed take care xoxo
It comes around every few years (usually when geese are flying north or south). Thank you so much for joining our tribe ❤️ I’m Angie my Hubster is Kenny 👋
This was great info. I have a flock the has lost there gullet in the past month. They all seem fine except for our rooster he hasn't been crowing. They all have plenty of grit and food water available. If you have any other ideas what it could be I would love to hear from you. God bless new subscriber here
Do they free range? Was he crowing before and just recently stopped? So many questions and possibilities. I can say my first go to when I see a crop issue is boosted water (mix lemon, cayenne, cinnamon in water) it helps break down and gives an immune boost. As far as the crowing it could be age, maybe something attacked or scared him, stress or bullying? If he seems fine other than crowing it’s probably one of the above. If he seems lethargic he could not be feeling well. Hard to tell without seeing or giving them a good once over.
Thank you so much for joining us ❤️
They free-range and have lots of water. He is always crows and just stopped. I will try adding those things to there water. The flock is just coming 1 and 2 years so I don't think it's that. Thank you so much for getting back to me. God bless
It’s possible that they got into some long grass, that could goop up their crop. You may keep them penned (if possible) for a couple weeks to see if the problems clear up. If he just stopped I’d assume it is a stresser (he’s being quite to not gain attention)?
Our news in Virginia says it was detected here also.
Oh no hopefully it didn’t hit any big farms 😳
@@AbundantAcresHomestead not sure
Oh cool…I literally just bought my first girls ever a few days ago from Tractor Supply. Thiiiiis is great.
@@drekavacx5673 you have so much fun
@@drekavacx5673 they are awesome
I got yall
Thank you 😉👍
It usually doesn’t spread to humans..it’s very very rare..
Coccidiosis is common and is somewhat natural..Call means kill their chickens.. I wonder if this wasn’t done purposely.. just like all the increase in prices in canned foods.. so sad for those birds.. give them medicated foods .. why isn’t that good enough..? Very sad.. I’ve never seen so much garbage going on in America.. God help us.. Why can’t vets give the birds antibiotics..?? Is there a reason that they don’t do that..? It’s very rare that the bird flu will be spread to humans..
It is very rare, I hope you didn’t get the impression that it was something to be concerned with? I tried very hard to explain that it wasn’t something to be fearful of. Yes I use the term cull because RUclips would flag me using the other. It’s commonly spread when the geese are flying north or south so I don’t believe it was intentional (this is third year that I’m aware it’s run through).
By the time it’s found it’s too late, it VERY contagious. So by industry standards they have no option but to cull, clean and start over with healthy birds. Commercially they wouldn’t be able to sell (for human consumption) birds that are or have been sick.
Abundant Acres Homestead it seems like people I know are panicking about the bird flu.. nothing to panic about.. you did a good job at explaining it..
wow,, I was afraid you were gonna say we have to make our chickens wear masks and practice social distancing. lol
Ohhh Vernon you crack me up 😆
They are going to need the jab lol
Lol
Haha jab with boosters 😆
Yeah that bird flu is some bad stuff. That's some very good information though!
Hopefully it winds down before it starts running 🤞
@@AbundantAcresHomestead that would be nice.
I will keep an eye out for these signs
This fall and winter we had a big problem with Merrick disease
All the questioned birds were paralized before they died or we had to cull them
But reading up on Merricks disease it can lower the birds immune system and cause them to die from another illness as well
After watching lots of world news we might have big problems ahead teaching clean techniques can be very helpful
Our chickens have been doing ok now but our quail are dieing...but most if not all have been them hurting themselves in one way or another...or could have been an older or picked on bird
My quail are inside in several small groups i think im going to keep breeding them
Maybe a few chicken chicks will be hatched too because im using broody chickens to hatch the quail and they sneak a few of their own eggs in too lol cant blame them lol
Oh that’s terrible, thankfully we personally have never had to deal with Merricks. Our friends did and we had to help cull over 200 chickens and scrub down the coop and sanitize the pens. So sorry you’ve had fowl problems. I miss having a broody when it comes hatching season…they’re happy to hatch any egg 😂
@@AbundantAcresHomestead yes lol they are the best better than my incubator lol
Yes Merricks was hard but it didn't take them all i was able to keep small flocks seperated and i think that helped
Definitely better than an incubator…and no cost for electricity 😂
@@AbundantAcresHomestead exactly the power always goes out mid way for a few hrs lol
Just make them wear little masks. Then, they'll be TOTALLY safe.
Ha yeah because they work soooo well
first
🏆 look at you 🏆
Angie this was an amazing video! Thank you for the information. I’ve been watching this and have been concerned. I’m gonna message you on IG with some questions
Thanks Lisa…if I can help you know I will ❤️
