    A poultry farm near Totley, just outside Sheffield, is being forced to sell off the remaining stock and close down as a result of government health advice.

    Alex and Rachel Wall have been keeping and breeding free range chickens in the grounds of Bank View Farm for six years. 

    But before Christmas, the department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs issued regulations which state all poultry need to be kept indoors, to defend against a recent outbreak of bird flu.

    These are in place until the end of February and Alex and Rachel say their business will not survive.
