Backyard Poultry Biosecurity set: Coop, Feed, Predator & Wild Bird Checklist

Wild birds near the coop. Feed or water left exposed. Predator access points. Nighttime security gaps.

Small issues around a backyard flock can become bigger problems when poultry owners do not have a simple way to check what is happening around the coop.

The Backyard Poultry Biosecurity Starter Pack is a practical digital download created by Mirk Global Consulting LLC to help backyard chicken owners, homesteaders, small farms, youth agriculture projects, and beginning flock keepers walk through common poultry risk areas using simple, printable checklists and reminders.

This starter pack helps you look more carefully at:

• Wild bird contact near your flock

• Predator access points around the coop or run

• Night coop security routines

• Feed and water protection

• Everyday biosecurity habits that are easy to miss

This is not a veterinary diagnosis tool and does not replace professional veterinary care, emergency response, or regulatory reporting. It is an educational field resource designed to help you organize what to check, what to improve, and what to watch more closely around your poultry setup.
