Hi-Fly

[wilbur foxhound 480]

Is this true what I've heard about hi-fly having to destroy a big number of pheasant and duck,because of bird flu,anyone heard anything

[burnie69 376]

Yes 62,0000 laying stock. It happened a few weeks ago now.

[wilbur foxhound 480]

What a blow

[toby63 1,236]

and the duck place further down the lane i think

[Miesque 20]

Mostly duck, all breeding stock

[wilbur foxhound 480]

I had heard it was 65000 pheasant and 15000 duck,but up here if you drop a penny at the bottom of the town it's a pound before you get to the crossroads

100000 birds all in and no birds on site for 12 month is what I've heard.

100000 birds all in and no birds on site for 12 month is what I've heard.

Your in the wrong business now there's going to be a real shortage this year think it might put up the price of poults ?. think a few shoots might no bother releasing any this year ?.

Gives me a headache just thinking about how difficult it will be too get chicks. That'll be 5/6 million down with Hi-fly out the game.

Glad I'm fencing...??

What stunt did they pull. And would they not have insurance for this sort of thing.
