I got a letter for a CSU Grad. student working on a project. They are trying to map the comings and goings of chickens and bio-security measures.
Not sure I should comply, I'm a bio-security nightmare. I let kids look at my chickens. They've never seen a chicken. I've let them hold a baby chick. My customers want to see that they are well cared for before they buy my eggs.
I sell baby chicks 100 at a time, meat chickens, eggs. They want the zip codes of everybody who's purchased a chicken from me. Zip codes of everybody I've purchased hatching eggs from. Document deaths, illness etc.
I can't answer all those questions, mostly because I haven't a clue but then I worry what they are going to do with the info. Probably start a regulation process. AUGH!!
What do you all think?
