Have a major problem on the farm, had some chickens in one of the sheds keeling over suddenly on Saturday,
On Sunday they were dropping so bad you could see there heads dissapear one after the other as they dropped.
The vet was called in and Avian flu was the major suspect.
site is now under wraps by the government, only a chosen few are allowed on site, myself being one off them,
as the maintenace engineer, it is my job to shut down all the machines in the packkng station ready for a mothballing for a few months.
The biggest outbreak they have ever dealt with in the UK was 300,000 birds, we have that many in two sheds and we have eleven sheds.
The biggest suplier in the UK.
1,200,000 birds are to be culled and disposed of over the next week or so. then the big strip, clean and dissinfect.
Then the site has to lay sterile for four to six months, the government will come in and do regular swabs and tests to make sure the virus has gone,
Luckily we have another packing station where we can run double shifts seven days a week, so most of us still have a job.
but we will be short of 1,000,000 eggs a day, so the prices of egg is going to sky rocket in the super markets.
