Avian Flu: Balearic Islands Declared High-Risk Zone — Are the New Rules Enough for Poultry Keepers?

Answer

What help is available for poultry keepers in Mallorca who cannot afford new protections?

Some local voices are calling for practical support, such as subsidised nets, covers, and simple stable modifications. The concern in Mallorca is that not every hobby keeper can easily afford the changes needed to meet the new standards. If support is offered, it would likely make the rules easier to follow and more effective.
