Anyone keeping 50 or more chickens, ducks or captive birds in England and Scotland must now house them indoors, as officials tighten rules for a second winter running. The move follows rising bird flu cases in farmed and wild flocks. Keepers must report falling egg numbers and suspected infections. Ministers expect no shortage of Christmas turkeys and say the risk to people remains very low.
