There will not be a spring show this year, but we hope to hold one in the fall. Our club membership has declined (Volunteer State Poultry Club), and we really need more dedicated, active members to be able to put on a...
Call the State Veterinarian's Office at 615-837-5120. The cost for certification and testing is $40 annually. A department representative will need to test your flock on an annual basis for Pullorum and every 180 days for Avian Influenza.

All eggs have the white spot, called the germinal disc. It just takes a bit of practice to tell the fertile from the infertile. Basically, in an infertile egg, the germinal disc is a solid white spot, and not uniformly round. When an egg is fertile, the germinal disc is faint rather than solid...

Penny Hen, the Green River show is in Brownsville, Kentucky (right over the state line, so not that far from you) on Saturday, October 12. Need more info, let me know!
Chrystal Dawn, I am so very, very sorry. I know only too well that soul mates can come to us in many forms, including galline. I know the pain of missing them when they have gone ahead...not gone, just gone on ahead - and we'll catch up....
I'm wondering which avian vet was not available for...
Hi, Tim! Looks like there will be a bunch of Wyandotte folks at the Green River show in a couple weeks. There are also hatching eggs for sale on eBay! ;)
