I wish Elizabeth did them too! Much more convenient.

I am glad to hear first hand experience with them in regard to poultry. When I inquired, they told me that if I dropped off birds first thing in the morning that I could get them in the late afternoon on the same day. I am pretty sure they only process them on Saturdays. Even if I got them the same day, not sure what I would do in Simla all day....

Do they have a USDA inspector on site when they do them?

 

[farmerlor]

No, Simla is not a USDA approved facility. I wanted to sell processed birds was advised not to since there's no one close to put a stamp on them.

NC Poultry is. There was an inspector there when I went to pick up our birds.

I had the same problem with the guy in Fort Collins. I use NC Poulty, they treat me well and do a fantastic job and they are USDA inspected. They caught one of mine that had an infection throughout, I'm glad they caught it.

Not snowing again here....yet. We had some flurries this afternoon right after I decided to call it a day with working on the coop. Almost finished! Just have to put on the hardware (hinges and latches) and will be all set. Have the brooder finished and waiting in the basement bathroom. I discovered that the lights in there really heat up the small space when they are on... so will use that for the chicks (plus a regular heat lamp in the brooder). Plus the vent/fan in there can really suck out air so if things get a bit chick-smelling, then I can kick that on. Hopefully the weather will be better on Sunday and I can finish things up.

Springs, anyone??? We are new to this no chickens yet, but where laying out all our plans. I hope we will have it all set for when I return home. (any tips/advice would be great)
