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

[perchie.girl]

SHANGHAI - Poultry markets in China's biggest city Shanghai were shut down on Friday and thousands of birds slaughtered as authorities attempted to prevent the spread of a new strain of bird flu, which has now claimed six lives. Shanghai ordered all live poultry markets in the city closed on Friday after culling more than 20,000 birds.

Cant be good for any of us

there is a bunch of stuff going on in that area.... 2800 dead pigs tossed in the river because of a crack down on sick pigs being used for food. Scary.....

Ikea had to stop selling its moose lasagna in europe because of pork mixed , a few months ago it was horsemeat in their meatballs.

Australians sliding kangaroo meat into BurgerKing beef exports in the 80s almost killed their export beef industry.

Between diseases and our own greediness, we get things screwed up good

Is it easier to export eggs from Australia Oz? (I know importing is a barrel of fun)

We have Emu farms all over the place here, I used to drive past one in Bindoon all the time.

sell those suckers off then OZ
1/2 for Bernie's pocket & 1/2 for more feed
maybe you will end paying little or nothing for feed
that's not too tough to take


piggy

we have a deal. feed gets paid first, then bernie gets 50% of net. my 50% goes to reinvestment for now. this encourages better use of feed, less wastage and more ownership.

works the same with our copra.

he does alright

how many gardeners in the philippines can in one year, own a caribau and are paying off a honda bike on a live-in servant salary?

You could implicate me lol

If you're interested, then I don't mind having a look around, see what I can find locally for you, pending the possibility of getting the out of the country.
