  • Don't keep too many chickens in a small area and keep the area clean
  • Keep chickens in good health - worm, vaccinate, provide good feed and water
  • Dispose of dead birds properly (bury or burn them)
  • Separate sick birds from healthy birds
  • Keep wild birds from coming into contact with your chickens
  • Develop strategies to reduce the likelihood of introducing the disease into your birds from new birds or from visitors - only bring healthy chickens onto your farm, separate new chickens for 10 days if possible to see if any signs of disease develop, and ensure that any visitors are clean and have not come straight from other poultry farms to your farm.
