Suppose it is the vinegar ?
Or the peppers ?

I'm not sure if there is any vinegar in the traditional kimchi (my mom is the kimchi expert) but I do know it's loaded with LOTS of great bacteria. Whenever I am sick I go for a big bowl of kimchi. It's great stuff.

Why does the chicken cross the road? Because a chicken goes where she wants to go. As much as we would love that to be a true sentiment, we claim birds as our property to protect them. It takes true courage to defend what is yours, especially in Virginia. I lived there for several years in the military, but I really think that you have done more to serve the rights of the citizens in America than any one ever could. Thank you.

well, i sincerely thank you for that...i do have sort of a protective (over at times) nature... but it really was the GROUP EFFORT that made this happen... it would NOT have had the same outcome on my efforts alone... in follow-up conversations, i've learned byc had some clout :musclesmiley:

and THANK YOU for serving in the military!

And then came BYC and CBS.....

Ok.

I was curious bc i saw a vehicle marked ICS drive down
my road and we've had no disasters in my area. I stay way out
in the country and after reading your post...well, you see where
Im going with this. Lol.

Im glad all worked out for you.

np, i'm a slow reader and typer and often get lost following links when i try to find particulars in a thread that caught my eye...also a little paranoid, so i get it lol .... ummm, not sure if i wanna know , but what does ICS stand for?


if i miss any questions, my ph's on page 1

Oh...i just had a couple other questions hit me...

Did they just happen to be driving along and notice you had chickens?
Or, was it because you had ordered from an infected source previously?
And i forget the other question...

Forgive me if its all been covered earlier.

no need for forgiveness but is that a cig or a joint?

teasing .... i ordered two sets of eggs from them delivered on 2 sep dates may 28? and june 6 --- i don't know the date of their diagnosis..but they showed up BECAUSE she had records showing the sale --- which i'm grateful for(beleive it or not) ... while i feel the eggs really didn't pose a threat (and they tested negative), there is always a possibility that test is wrong.... this whole ordeal may have actually SAVED my flock

I'm late to the party, but I just read through this whole amazing thread and am so pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I'm glad your birds are still with you!

I know a lot of folks have said AI isn't in the news enough, but I don't know, I seem to keep hearing it on the radio and seeing it in print and online all over- and it's not even in our part of the country (yet). I've been worried about my little backyard flock all spring. My 8 girls are just pets, and it's been a closed flock for over 2 years, but I am constantly worried about what potential diseases/infections/contaminants I could be bringing home from the feed store, horse barn, etc. I know someone mentioned taking biosecurity precautions up through sterilizing car tires, but that just seems like a virtually impossible standard to me. I have a pair of boots that I only wear in and out of the yard and coop/run, but the chickens free range and people drive cars and walk on our driveway, which the chickens range over. How could we possibly protect them from anyone who drives up to the driveway after being somewhere else? Right now, we've decided that a life without free ranging ever just isn't fair to them, but if (when?) AI shows up here, I guess we'll sadly have to rethink that.

Very sad.

very sad indeed, by using the same reasoning, they should put down every postal worker that has come in contact with those boxes containing the eggs (sarcasm)....i like all of the postal workers that i've dealt with over the years... would be VERY sad if they had to put down their flocks because of the possibility of ai spreading because of eggs that i ordered...

seriously, i get it .... but it's NOT the ONLY option ...just the EASIER one

i'm EXTREMELY FORTUNATE for the way things have turned for me ... the good people, the people behind the scenes, the people in the forefront, ... this couldn't have happened without you!

I'm so happy for you too! (And of course, your birds!) Thankful they agreed to quarantine instead of destruction. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
