UK poultry compliance · 1–499 birds

The birds are the joy.
The paperwork isn't.

Since October 2024, everyone in Great Britain who keeps poultry must register with APHA and keep proper records, even for a single hen. Aviara turns that into a calm checklist: your flock, your deadlines, your records, all in one place.

Built for small keepers, not commercial mega-farms.

Why it matters

The rules changed. Most keepers don't know.

The law no longer cares whether you run a farm or keep three hens at the bottom of the garden. The duty is the same, and missing it is a criminal offence.

Every bird
Since 1 October 2024, all poultry keepers in Great Britain must register with APHA, with no minimum flock size.
~1 in 4
Roughly a quarter of confirmed avian influenza outbreaks since 2021 have been in backyard and small flocks.
30 days
You must report any change to your flock or details within 30 days, and re-confirm everything every 12 months.
What Aviara does

Three things, done properly.

Everything a small keeper actually needs to stay on the right side of the rules, and nothing built for an industrial operation.

🐓

Flock records

Add your birds by species, count and group. Keep a clear, dated history of what you keep and where, the foundation of every record APHA may ask for.

compliance cycle
The rhythm of keeping

Poultry compliance is a year that repeats.

  • Register once, within a month of getting your birds. Aviara walks you to the right APHA form for your flock size.
  • Keep records as you go (new birds, losses, treatments, sales) and report changes within 30 days.
  • Re-confirm every 12 months. Aviara counts down to your annual check so it never quietly lapses.
Who it's for

If you keep birds, the rules apply to you.

Aviara is made for keepers with 1 to 499 birds, the people the new rules caught off guard.
