Turkey farmer Billy Gray: 'My biggest worry is for the people I supply to.' This week, two outbreaks of highly pathogenic bird flu have been detected among turkey flocks in counties Carlow and Meath. The news has prompted Mr Gray to “batten down the hatches and keep the head down” to minimise any risk to his birds on Feighcullen Farm. It has a serious knock on to the supply chain.”Mr Gray has also put other restrictions in place on his farm. “There is significant input into 250 turkeys and it’s a significant loss if it was to hit us,” she says.
