I am just seeing this. I will get some pictures this week and post them. I have pictures from last year but I've replaced a few hens in the Marans pen and added some pullets to the Ameraucana pen.
I am looking for some good quality Rhode Island or Rock breeds. These will be hatched for my daughters 4-H project so I am not wanting hatchery stock. I am looking for some older lines that someone has been working with for a few years.
Are you talking about the 2020 breeding season? Yes, as soon as they start laying well enough to ship a dozen fresh eggs these will be available. I will not ship eggs over 3 days old, but really try to keep them under 48 hours old.
I am not NPIP. HOWEVER, I am an NPIP certified tester ( got my certification 2 years ago) and tested over 30 of my birds (all negative). In Indiana you are required to test 30 birds if you own up to 300 and then its 10% of the number of birds you own. Then with the antigen shortage, they...
I have both of these breeds. I am not getting enough eggs at this to ship a dozen of either but should be within a month or so. My Marans pen has a black roo and a blue roo over 8 black hens. They originated from Bev Davis lines. My B/B/S Ameraucana originated from Max Strawn lines. I have...
If you don't mind, I will share this info with a FB group I made for NPIP blood testers. Trying to help everyone stay "up on the latest". Feel free to join https://www.facebook.com/groups/301571857188357/
Would you mind if I shared this information on a Facebook page I have? I'm trying to keep everyone updated. Feel free to join! It's for any NPIP certified testers.

From Twin City Poultry: ATTENTION ANTIGEN CUSTOMERS: We have been told by the manufacturer that they are hoping to be approved by the USDA sometime the end of April?.
I am in SW Indiana and also would like to get on the list. I've been watching for any more information on a release/production date but haven't seen much of anything so I appreciate the updates! I also just started a FB page NPIP Blood Testers for testers to join to stay up on events or find...
I just got certified yesterday, also in Indiana (SW). I still have to figure out what to charge and have to purchase the antigen. It's almost $200.00 per bottle and is only good a year.
Strawberries are over for us here in southern Indiana. We actually tilled under a 6' x 20' row of them last night to replant a different variety. I did get 8 pint and a half jars of French style green beans done. First time ever for green beans. And my frencher only will cut 4 beans at a time
We have renamed him Lazarus because he has risen from the brink of death. Never thought he would have made it a month ago. Another few days and he will go back into general population. We are just waiting on the last of the scabbing to heal.
I have a trio of Houdans. The first pic shows some of the chicks I hatched from them about a month ago and the second pic is when I first got them a couple of years ago as young adults. The rooster, Einstein, is the meanest rooster I own but I still love him. I have found the chicks to be...
Here are some pictures of him from this past weekend. A normal picture and then where he goes into ostrich mode trying to hide his head.
He is starting to act more like himself. He has been pacing looking up for somewhere to perch so we made him a low perch about the height of a 5 gallon...
I have 2 different Ball books. 1 is thin and 1 is thick but the thin 1 has recipes in it the thick 1 does not. The sweet pickle relish is the best ever and that is where most of my cukes go. It has a bread and butter pickle taste to it and turns my chicken salad into a masterpiece! I get so...
