Thank you Zack. Lot of people are freaking out about this. We have roofs over all our runs, all water and feed are inside, not even a wren can get into cages, I'm not freaking out.
I am so glad my birds are inside. Even when I take Lucy for a walk, we stay in the home area, and not walking where ducks and geese visit. The ducks and geese stay on the other side of the river from me. Only ones I have to worry about are the ones that might fly overhead. I am the only one allowed in the quail room.
Myshire and big producers are the most important ones to protect. Let's face it: If you've got 40 quail and have to cull them all in a worst case scenario, you could be back up to 100% in just a short time (a few months) by buying fresh hatching eggs. Bummer, but not the disaster that you would have if you had hundreds or thousands of birds to deal with. I'm just about to get started and I'll be doing everything indoors. Zack, you are a GREAT source of quail info. Thanks!!!
I wondered about this-as an AI outbreak happened in our state. Thankfully our babies are kept indoors and will remain inside. Thank you for the helpful info!
I have definitely been stressing. Thank you for doing this video and helping with my stress level over this. Now to get busy with a couple extra protection ideas you gave me!
Thanks Zack. This gives me lots to think about. We put our layer chickens out in the chicken tractor daily, but likely will reduce this or eliminate it and keep them in the covered run/coop. So glad we are getting started on quail. We will likely make a foot bath for when we come home from feed stores/etc.
There are many ways to prevent it and or contain it and this video was to try to get everyone to think on how they want to move forward so thanks for watching and good luck
@@MyshireFarm thanks again Zack. Definitely got me thinking and will be asking questions o have to the AI expert I am interviewing tomorrow on our livestream.
Thank you Zack… great information. My quail are in my garage and I do not open the garage door since I moved them there and everyone (family) enter’s the house through front door and removes their shoe.
When I worked at the veterinarian I would spray the bottoms of my shoes before visits with people who had pets and before entering my home. It’s does help to prevent the spread any virus. Clean hands. And all around cleaning
Thanks for sharing your research with us! AI hasn’t been confirmed in our county or neighboring counties as of yet, but I have my aviary birds tarped up and other farm birds confined for now for good measure. Not freaking out, but definitely being observant and using smart preventative measures.
My quail hutches are attached to the outside wall of our garage. No way to bring them all inside. But we have plywood right on top of the cages and a metal roof over that as well as metal sides so no droppings can come in. Birds hang around outside, though. They clean up whatever bits of feed get on the ground when we clean trays out. We also have a hawk that hangs around and some owls. But nothing can get in, and I'm certain no droppings can get to them. We cover the doors at night with wooden covers that fit in the wire openings. I covered our chicken run (chain link dog kennel) with chicken wire all around and tarps on several sides which we do for winter anyway plus it has a metal roof due to predators. I get an occasional sparrow or wren in there. Can't seem to close up everything enough for all of them to stay out. Chickens are far away from our quail, and hubby and I are the only caretakers. Not sure what else I can do but this all makes me really nervous.
hi Zack thanks on the info, I have heard not to freeze they can not due the right test on it but you can refrigerate it they can just to let you know .
That is true. You can do both. Getting someone out soon for us is or has been difficult but yes if you can get someone out in a few days your right it would be better to not freeze
I'm just starting but glad I have plans to completely cover my livestock tractors. I'm wondering, what happens with your pond after the geese are done moving for the year? Is there even a way to disinfect it? It lasts so long on surfaces, I wonder how long in the water?
really good info Zach! Very timely too. thanks much because this topic has been on my mind lately. just wondering, what became of the incubator tests that you were doing when the damn virus hit?
Try 50% water and 50% listerine(Yellow) mixture for any cleaning you need to do, I'd make sure it was dry before I allowed the Quail back into the cleaned area.
So. Is buying baby chick's a good or bad idea right now??? It's chick season....😳 Side note. I was really surprised you were opening your farm to the conference thingy because of stuff like this.

Good deal: good luck

That’s the best way to prevent it
Thank you for staying on top of things and passing the information to us. God bless 🕊🐣🕊

Thanks for the update SoilBrotha! We appreciate you and all your knowledge 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching
I have definitely been stressing. Thank you for doing this video and helping with my stress level over this. Now to get busy with a couple extra protection ideas you gave me!
The biggest thing to do is not to try to look for it bc then you will find it at every turn. Good luck and see you in a few months

Great info
Thanks for watching
I get ducks, cranes and turkeys in the yard but not worried since mine are in a garage.
That is the best way to prevent it for sure

Cleanliness is next to Godliness
Its sorta weird rhd in rabbits high in California
I had a dead hawk in chicken coop
Interesting
Great info! My chickens are cooped up in Utah and not happy either and luckily my quail are in a separate coop so outside birds can’t get in
Good luck

It sounds like you have a lot of good practices in place
Great info. Appreciate the vid. I've seen flu sick birds 35 years ago. Don't want to see our again.
Absolutely good luck
Thank you 🙏. I really needed this information. I’m not stressed 😩 thank you but my knowledge bank is a little better filled up!
Thanks for watching
thanks for all that you do zack
Thanks for watching

There are chemicals you can use but we usually wait 2-4 weeks and let the geese and ducks back in it
really good info Zach! Very timely too. thanks much because this topic has been on my mind lately. just wondering, what became of the incubator tests that you were doing when the damn virus hit?
We are still working on them but took a small break as I needed to get egg orders out but will bring them back soon
I'm not freaking out ,The only time I freak out is when someone tells me not to freak out......
Oooops hahahaha sorry
can they get it from small birds? like finches, Robins, chickadees, that type of thing.
It is possible but much more unlikely
@@MyshireFarm thankyou!
Any idea if it's spread to Florida yet?
I am not sure. I do believe it is in FL
Do you use colloidal silver in their water?
No just regular well water
Is there quail in Florida. Haven't seen any in years
Yes many people raise quail in FL
hey Zack my eggs are being shipped out tomorrow when do you think they will arrive. it is supposed to snow in my area 3 inches should i be worried
They would be there Monday or Tuesday and no worries. Congrats
@@MyshireFarm thank you so much im just worried lol
I feed the wild birds in feeders in our yard. I wash my hands after feeding them. Anything else I should do? Thank you,, Zack!
I would just make sure that your birds can not get to the wild bird feed
Can you tell me when I can order the Jumbo Wild? Thanks
I am hoping that some of the jumbos will be back in stock in 3 weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience
@@MyshireFarm it’s ok. Thank you
Zack, when we clean quail cage with wire bottom what can we use to disinfect wire that would be safe for quail?
Try 50% water and 50% listerine(Yellow) mixture for any cleaning you need to do, I'd make sure it was dry before I allowed the Quail back into the cleaned area.
We use listerine 50% and 50% water. What S O Swanson said hahahahaha
So. Is buying baby chick's a good or bad idea right now???
It's chick season....😳
Side note. I was really surprised you were opening your farm to the conference thingy because of stuff like this.
Yes that would be fine just be a little more thorough when purchasing
So it’s not airborne but contact??
Not to my knowledge
How long will this flu last
That is undetermined but should level out in a month or so
