I have a field of cows next door to my garden, if there was an outbreak of foot and mouth would my animals (Ducks, Geese & Chickens) be at risk or have to be destroyed?

If it was airbourne they are not far away?  I used to live near where the latest outbreak is in Farnham (near Guildford) I am now in Wiltshire but wonder about the implications

[shaun]

not unless your chickens have hoofs slowef

Oh ok, I wondered as during another outbreak they shot rabbits and magpies or was that another disease?

Oo maybe it was rabies  :oops:
