Your chickens would be sick. If they're organic, free range, there's little chance that the flock would be effected. Its the large, poultry farms where the infection is a problem, due to close quarters and unsanitary conditions.

At least, thats the latest I've heard so far. Apparently, it has spread over a 35 K area.

The Feds were gassing them, putting them in plastic bags and burying them in clay. Residents protested when they tried to use local landfills. Now B.C. is in control and their approach is much saner. They take the dead poultry, cover it with chicken manure and sawdust and let the heat of the compost destroy the virus on site.
