There's just been another outbreak in Sweden. OIE report here: http://www.oie.int/wahis_2/public/wahid.php/Reviewreport/Review?page_refer=MapFullEventReport&reportid=28389

With prevailing winds heading our way and migration underway we may see some this year. Lets hope if we get any here that its the Swedish variant as that doesn't seem to have caused any chicken deaths.

Newcastle is a notifiable disease and all chickens in the flock will be culled.

Thanks grinling for some reason it hadn't sunk in that they'd have to be stamped out,  cheers.
