Beautiful boys, but one word, BIOSECURITY........ Where's your quarantine pen?????

 

[R@ndy]

Bio security? Is it to make sure the birds I bought are healthy, clean and safe for my existing birds?



I only live about 15 minutes from his place and have been there a few times.


Here is some info from the site on his stock

Here at Whitmore Farm we routinely test for the following diseases:

Avian Influenza
Pullorum Typhoid
Mycoplasma
Infectious Bronchitis Virus
New Castle Virus
Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus

Rest assured when you buy from Whitmore Farm you will be getting disease free stock. All hatcheries are in the NPIP program, but they only monitor for Avian Influenza and Pullorum Typhoid, the minimum required by law. Whitmore Farm is very proud to be the only hatchery selling heritage breed poultry that are certified Mycoplasma free by NPIP.


And from all that I have herd I would not buy birds from an auction just to be safe
