Hey Tony, that reminds me... I've been meaning to ask if those are Heritage BR's. I think you mentioned it once before, but my memory doesn't serve me well at times.

What was the question???
 
One of my facebook friends (also a crazy chicken lady) posted this.... had to share....

I will explain it like this. My mother's family farmed and had hogs. They went to confinement in the 60's. Well mom married a farmer that milked and that's how I came about. Although we have beef cattle and farm now, no dairy herd. Thank God. Anyway, PRRS and other illnesses would decimate a pig farm. My grandpas employees were not allowed to be at any place there was swine nor could they have them. It was sanitize into the buildings. Every other week a semi came in for a load of butcher pigs. Truck and trailer had to be sanitized and washed prior to entering the farm. Pigs were loaded from an outside pin and not from the finishing house. Once a pig went on the trailer, it could not come off. If at any time a pig got off the trailer, it was shot where it stood. Period not up for discussion. Sale barns were off limits. Etc. you get the drift I'm sure.

Well said and as it should be, fire. When the future of a business revolves around keeping your stock safe, no measure of safety is too extreme.

No. But really you are. Your not putting 1 day old chicks with your grown ones correct. So you are but aren't.

Speaking of 1 day chicks, should i nit wait untill chicks are 1 month before selling them? I was think of getting colored zip ties and marking the sold ones to their correct owners then giving them the chicks at 1 month so i know they are more safe when i give them to someone. Also it gives the person time to build the coop. What do you think?
