RE: H7N9 is now airborne, 25% fatality rate
yes, it will kill poultry, you have more chance of catching it from poultry, than from a human.
On the other hand, its quite rare, and if your birds are free. or semi free ranging, there unlikely to be infected, the main danger is in mass caged, factory chickens. The main danger is contamination via eyes, mouth, nose, and hands. If in doubt, wear gloves, mask, etc, but its not really a big problem in the wild so far. If in doubt, contact a vet.

um, im not a vet, doctor, lawer, or insured against malpratice civil master, so take any advice with a pinch of salt, and chipmunk oil.
