Show ducks and geese kept together with chickens or turkeys

You can obtain confirmation that ducks and geese are kept together with chickens or turkeys.

If you keep ducks and geese together with chickens or turkeys in order to detect a possible infection of the animals with avian influenza at an early stage, you can obtain confirmation from the competent authority.
