Steps or Actions that should be taken and, if applicable, Who is Responsible:
Call your flock veterinarian and clearly explain all symptoms, number and age of affected birds, and any treatments undertaken;
Service unaffected barns first or dedicate a specific farm worker to the affected barn(s);
Stop all animal movements off and onto premises, just not the affected species. Other animals also have the potential to spread the disease;
Inform all family members and employees of the situation;
