A little about me:
I live in a small town in Mississippi, after I became disabled I started raising chickens as a hobby to occupy some of my time, little did I know how enjoyable it would be, what started out as a hobby soon became a passion, I started out with 10 young birds and now have 57...
The folks from animal health are scheduled to come out tomorrow to test my birds for NPIP certification, it's taken 3 months of calling and emails to get this done, so if you're trying to do it, don't give up. I'll post the resuls after they get through.
lol, there is also a chicken sale on wednesday at the Lucedale livestock market in thier parking lot, it's also an early morning sale from 5:30 am to about 10:00 am, I guess you could call it a black market sale too lol
