Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[ozexpat]

Does that now mean you will not be taking eggs from California ????

Also will Californian flocks all get culled?

the birds will be culled only if there are commercial producers and local birds start dropping

Good time to remind everyone of bio security. Your birds should not come into contact with any wild birds.

Some birds just got a frequent flier account

And who says chickens are bad at flying.

unfortunately thats not going to happen unless they live in a HEPA filtered positive pressure isolation coop

And who says chickens are bad at flying.

apparently they only like big planes

the two main airline companies denied boarding to one of my orders today - the airport is serviced by turboprop planes and they wont carry the birds.

the buyer will do a 7 hr drive tomorrow to the nearest airport that lands A320s

Yeah, but keeping wild birds out of your run lessens the risk at least.

indeed it does help

so does washing hands before and after touching chickens or their feed and limiting people who touch your chickens

my runs are all covered but that did not srop me losing 100 birds to necastle disease when my previous drunk worker did not vaccinate. some viruses are more virulent than others

Are local chickens immune to Newcastles?

Yikes - I hope your buyers who plan to breed the birds know to vaccinate

when selling chickens - I like the money but this is way better

A newbie chicken owner bought the aboVe waybill chickens from me. The sale was more than 30 emails.

He was so excited but could not make up his mind.and was on a limited budget.

Finally i had to intervene - I tossed in a bird that would balance his breeds and another to fill the box.

Remember that we cannot guarantee sex at that age but we did our best

You ended up with

1 BBSO PULLET
1 BBSO COCKERAL
1 BO PULLET
1 BO COCKERAL
1 RIR PULLET
1 MX EITHER

I HOPE THAT’S OK worst case scenario – you get to eat two birds free

The box will have labhang in the bottom. My wife wll add either papaya or watermelon as a water filled snack in Bacolod before shipping.

Don’t forget to post pics on BYC if you can do so – one at airport with box

Thanks
