The part I don't like is where they mention that big factory farms have biosecurity measures they must follow but backyard flocks don't......you know what that means....

yeah, the government is going to stick their big nose in it!

It's raining here, again. Every night it rains. My grow out pen is flooding on the lower side. Going to have to move everyone tomorrow if they don't get drowned. It's coming down hard!

Yep, that's a definite blood ring... was the driving rough and bumpy? Shouldn't have made too much difference if it wasn't a rough ride...

All Highway driving...

Dang about the Georgia flocks, can AI sit dormant for a while in a healthy birds or does it break out fast once it touches a healthy flock?

I don't like how they make it sound like we're all just irresponsible and will spread disease willy-nilly without care for other flocks...

OMG!!! Look at that fuzzy ball of cuteness!!! They are adorable! And that face!!

It dumped hard on us earlier... was trying to catch a stray when lightning struck close, that hen jumped 4 ft up and ran straight for her pen, lol...
Hope it stops there for you... we need to coolness... :/
