Bird flu outbreak sees keepers reminded to follow strict safety rules (Image: Joe Giddens/PA Wire) HENS and other birds are still being allowed to roam free, it is claimed, despite a national government rule that all poultry must be kept indoors in a bid to try to curtail the spread of a virulent strain of avian flu sweeping across the country. The crackdown by Defra last December saw a new legal requirement for all poultry owners to bring their flocks indoors, to keep them separate from potentially infectious wild birds. It applies not only to large commercial poultry farms, but also smaller backyard keepers with hens in coops or garden pens.
