See Our chickens & fowl - Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare

Raystede’s Aviaries are closed due to the imposition of a local Avian Flu Surveillance Zone. We do not have the disease at Raystede.

We have to comply with DEFRA regulations and ensure the safety of our birds. Thank you for your understanding.
