My state just lost a broiler house yesterday and report of turkey vultures and a red hawk testing positive has put my farm on high alert because we live within 4-5 miles from a broiler house. If we test positive high chance they will and vica versa. Already made it clearn that would mean hard...

Trace pesticides are pretty common, and yes there is some stuff talking about the effects. Organic options have their own other spew of issues and I would wanna know if organic feed has residue.

Yeeeup 🤣 Been yelled at for using my body to stop a round bale from rolling in the pond. Not my fault they cost so much! :caf

We gonna attempt that, but we're also planning to actually trap them since we're shifting to doing a breeder conservation type set up with possible egg selling on the side. So need birds trap for NPIP and AI testing.

Yup, but unfortunately they will sneak into neighbor's pine tree forest/farm and I aint jumping our fence topped with barb wire for that :oops: already get enough scowling from doctors

We sorta nerfed ourselves encouraging our feral flock to... well be feral. They develop the habit if we collect their eggs they move to a new nest :he akin to if they loose their nest to a predator.

Oh don't worry we work with MSU on worming protocols with our goats, but I know most home flocks don't even do fecal count checks to see if it even needed.

That why I said some. Though, I do wonder if folks worm their birds often? Within the goat world high worm count can effect milk production. I'm guilty of not worming my hens (They free range however I will be radically changing our set up this year including worming routine.)

Yeah, I have had some stupidly creative birds on where they hide and hatch (little nock up in the roof of a barn).

My front flock, I got two hens who will 95% always go broody together and raise a horde of fluffy nuggets. Most make it to maturity :th

Lowkey wonder if some of the people with missing eggs are getting Punked by their birds :caf said hens off hiding eggs somewhere to attempt to hatch fifty chicks.

While not my favorite coffee brand I do love the local part.

It has to be both cool and terrifying to see all the ins and outs. I knew folger roasters are in New Orleans forgot Domino was too

Yeah supposedly they are owned by someone else? Just quoting the counter arguements I have dealt with doesn't mean it make sense :idunno

Yup, I've see the price differences and talked to folks about the price locking in contracts etc. These people claim to be capitalists but clearly never took economics 101 :rolleyes:

The counter arguement I have heard is because Blackrock (supposedly) owns a egg production company they bought purina and want to stop home flocks from laying so people buy store eggs :caf I'm pretty positive the profit from feed sales are more than eggs even if you make every home flock...

I am beginning to believe that not onlu economics needs to be taught in school but how to read research papers/essays

Mississippian here. Southern Feed and Waremilling are two instate brands, though depending how close you are to the borders of the other states they could be easily right.
