Backyard Chickens and Game Fowl Survey
Thank you for your interest in my survey. The survey is now closed but stay tuned for some results!
Special thank you to all the survey participants and everyone that helped promote the survey.
Participation in this survey will help advance our knowledge of the live poultry movement in California (see below for an example of a network). This information will be crucial in the event of a poultry disease outbreak. For example, if we know what counties have a large number of chickens coming in and out, then we can be strategic on where to allocate outreach resources. For example, the data collected could help us determine where to hold biosecurity workshops or distribute vaccines.
