There was quite a long piece on Farming Today about the risk to rare breeds from culling etc. It's probably worth having a listen to on the BBC Radio 4 website.

So...I went to the site, spent about 30 minutes digging around trying to find how to listen to yesterday morning's program, finally find it and all I get is about one minute (in the middle of everything else) of how efforts will be made to house birds indoors, IF it becomes necessary. Confused

There was a lot more than one minute! Are you sure you listened to the right day.
