Now I'll go take pictures the back 40 which I think is what you meant to begin with, eh?

I like the chicken pictures too of course!

Do you have a coop page yet?

You're silly! What's a coop page?

I have three hens still. I had to give up the boys though

Sorry to hear that, at least you still have some girls. They are beautiful!

View attachment 1409179 Hi everyone.
I was asked to share this with your state threads:

All of us who have had necropsies performed by CAHFS (UC Davis) got this notice in our email. They mention quarantine after shows, etc. - but I am wondering how many diseases are "out there" for which a 30 day quarantine just isn't enough (and the diseases there is no possible way to quarantine for, like Marek's). There's so much buying and selling of adult birds on our NorCal fb pages that I cringe...

There is only so much we can do for bio security. Some things still get through--some come from mosquito others from wild birds. Some can come from a trip to the feed store too.

Anybody else worried about Newcastle spreading North? 10 confirmed cases now.

It should be controlled before it gets here.

Be sure to practice bio security!

Not terribly worried - it may all have been connected to one poultry show. But, I feel terrible for those who have had to cull their entire flock. My heart would be broken!

My thoughts exactly. I would be devastated if I had to start from scratch.
