Wales Only ( Wales is being dealt with as a whole , no high risk areas) .... you might like to see this which is extract from NFU Cwmru email .....
Proposed changes to apply after 28 February:
All keepers of poultry and other captive birds must complete an assessment of their premises and then ensure they adopt one or more of the following:
•house their birds
•keep totally separate from wild birds by use of netting etc.
•allow controlled access to outside areas subject to applying additional risk mitigation measures
This places the onus on the keeper to select the best option most applicable to their circumstances to protect their birds. It also permits poultry keepers to continue to house their birds should they wish to do so voluntarily or if they wish to allow their birds back outside (to protect their free range status) they must ensure that the additional risk mitigation measures are complied with.
In addition to whichever option chosen all keepers of poultry and other captive birds must also ensure that:
•wild birds cannot access feed and water intended for poultry and other captive birds.
•any person who comes into contact with poultry and other captive birds must take all reasonable precautions to avoid the transfer of contamination between premises, including cleansing and disinfection of equipment, vehicles and footwear;
•steps are taken to reduce the movement of people, vehicles or equipment to and from areas where poultry or captive birds are kept to minimise contamination between premises;
•vermin control programmes are implemented, including making the area and buildings where poultry or captive birds are kept inaccessible and unattractive to wild birds;
•housing and equipment is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected at the end of a production cycle;
•the area / range and buildings where poultry or captive birds are kept is regularly checked for signs of wild bird access, kept clean;
•disinfectant, at the right concentration, is kept at all points where people should use it, such as farm entrances and before entering poultry housing or enclosures;
•domestic waterfowl (ducks and geese) are kept separately to, and cannot make contact with, other domestic species;
•Ensure that the site is regularly inspected and kept clean, any spillages are immediately cleaned
