Backyard poultry owners can find help in protecting their birds against infectious poultry diseases in a 2010 calendar being released by USDA. As part of its ongoing efforts to educate backyard poultry owners, USDA is offering a free and informative calendar Backyard Biosecurity: Keeping Your Birds Healthy, which features full-color photos of poultry and other birds each month. It contains useful information about protecting poultry from disease and includes tips on what to do should poultry owners suspect that their birds are infected with a disease such as avian influenza.
