Hi
Not good-the DEFRA guy who see's us said the birds show clinical signs within 24 hours and are dead within 48 hours.He advised us that any concerns we should immediately ring their local Veterinary centre to us who will send someone out immediately to collect samples for analysis and advise of action.
In actuality the time it takes for a result the birds would all be affected and dead or dying if it was avian flu.

Incubation period for poultry - 1 to 2 days
For human's 5 to 7 days.
'The Independent' has a good article today on Avain Flu |
