Illinois...

[Franzen Farms]

I'd just like to remind everyone that I am an Illinois NPIP tester who will travel to your farm to re-certify your NPIP status in Will County and neighboring areas.

I just wanted to say we had Denise out to re-certify our farm today and she did a great job.

Thanks again Denise

You're welcome Chris.
Thank you and your lovely family for all the help too!
Every One: although I went to Nationals last August and spent lots of time looking at everything, when I went to Franzen Farms, I've never seen such beautiful birds all in one place. Healthy, Shiny and happy birds ( well at least they were happy before we poked and tested them ).

Thanks for the compliment.
Here is the picture Star took of your little hissing friend after we tested him.

He was so much more lovelier in person

and that he sounded like a snake without moving his "lips" was fun!!!!!

does anyone know of someone in Illinois that sells Midget white Turkeys, or would anyone want to go in on an order from Welp hatchery? You have to order 15 @ 9,58 each and I dont want that many. I only want 6 to 8 max.

 

[Franzen Farms]

No midget whites but we do sell Bourbon Red Turkeys with no minimum order that are NPIP certified if your interested.

Wow, very foggy here this morning!! I'm going to get some things done outside today since I'm not working!

Where are you located?

The date of the Poultry Workshop, sponsored by Purina Mills and the Sublette Farmers Elevator (zip 61367), is Thursday, April 12. Don't have time or street address yet, I'll keep you posted. It will be in the evening.

So, did you find any silkies to hatch for us? I want some.....and I am sure we will be going to the Sublette workshop.....Any more info on that?

I didn't find any local eggs

but I am having 2 dozen shipped from BYCer cjexotic....purebreds from various color pens. I hope they don't get too scrambled on their way here!!
No time yet for the Workshop...the one last year was at 6 or 6:30 p.m., so I'm sure it'll be around that time. I'll update here when I know more.

How exciting!


So...... do you like to hatch? Do you hatch for others?

 

[NotAFarm]

I love for my broodies to hatch.....I'm not so in love with incubating them myself. I don't have a turner in the old Farm Master cabinet incubator so I have to hand turn three times a day when incubating....

My 'bator is old but holds very reliable temps and if I used it more often I would look into adding turners but I have great broody hens that are willing to hatch for me so haven't needed to at this point. Why.......you got eggs you need hatched?! What kind?!
