California Poultry Shows

Message from California Department of Food and Agriculture:

Since May 2018, Virulent Newcastle Disease (VND) has had a devastating impact on poultry in the Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino. As a result, over 1.2 million backyard and commercial birds have died or been euthanized. 

 It is very important that people put in place very strict biosecurity measures to prevent the disease and report any unusual number of sick/dead birds to the Sick Bird Hotline 1-866-922-2473.

A regional quarantine is in place that spans all of Los Angeles County and large portions of Riverside County and San Bernardino County and prohibits movement of any poultry or poultry hatching eggs within, into, or out of this designated area (unless written permit is issued by CDFA).
