Answer

How can small poultry keepers in Mallorca afford the new protection measures?

For small keepers, the cost of nets, bedding, disinfectant mats and vet visits can add up quickly. Local support, shared materials or group purchases can help reduce the burden, especially for hobby keepers and small farms. The rules are easier to follow when municipalities and neighbours also help with practical solutions.
