INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Thank you for the help as far as I know it isn't required to sell in my state but I do plan to chip eggs eventually.

You can also have birds tested for Mycoplasma Gallisepticum, M. Synoviae, M. Meleagridis, Salmonella Enertitidis and AI. Probably other things too but most have an additional cost.
It is a national program but administered by states so each state is different. For instance, some states only require a small percentage of each flock be tested. In MO, every bird on the property over 4 months has to be tested.
It has to be done the same month every year to stay certified.
I think some states charge a fee for even the PT test.

@attimus ... are you ready to plug it in and see what happens yet?

not even, still working on framing the inside insulation around the window. Then installing everything. In due time. Just penned up a broody with a dozen eggs so chicks are coming anyways

If you were a set of keys, where would you hide?
I lost my house and post office keys about a month ago I guess. Since I don't go anywhere, I didn't realize they were gone until this past week.
I have checked my jeans, my purse, the porch, the laundry room, and a table right inside of the entrance. I even searched my desk a few times as well as my room when I was cleaning it the other day. I'm at a loss! Anyone have any ideas? Anyway to climb inside of my head, and figure out where I put them?
Oh, yeah! LOL! I have not checked the toyboxes yet!

@MotorcycleChick

If you are still looking for keys have you tried the garbage can. Don't ask. We had kids a long time ago and that for some reason was the place to put them

Snow finally stopped.
It started about 2AM and we were getting 1" and hour but it never dropped below freezing so it stayed sloppy. By the time it stopped there was only 4" and now the ground is only about half covered.and 42F.

I only chip eggs that I boil for eating

I've always driven them with a sledge. Cheap Chinese ones mushroom quickly but the good ones hold up. I move the cheap ones around a lot for short temporary fences so they don't get driven in very far. I save the expensive posts for permanent fences.

you can't think a sledge would do much in SW Missouri. It is just dust over rock and more rock.
