Home Delivery Services
Many customers request home delivery of feed and supplies. Always keep in mind that the risk of exposure and spread of germs is high during deliveries. Remember what was mentioned about indirect contact. You do not have to have direct contact with birds to be exposed to diseases. Clothing, vehicles, equipment, and feed and storage areas can also harbor diseases. Avoid contact with poultry, poultry equipment or poultry excrement.

Park delivery vehicles in a clean dry location away from bird areas whenever possible. Avoid contact with poultry, poultry equipment or poultry excrement. If necessary, disinfect your vehicle upon leaving.

During any feed delivery and pickup, it is important to spray the soles of your clean shoes before exiting and entering a vehicle. A dedicated pair of clean rubber shoe covers could be used for these duties. Use a hand-sanitizer as an additional precaution.
