"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[TerriLaChicks]

I AM NPIP CERTIFIED! All chickens tested and cleared! Apparently she was the lady in charge of all NPIP reports/workers in Louisiana...
Such a nice gal. Was very helpful and informative... passed on a few tips, asked a ton of questions and acted happy to test all of mine since I had never done it before. Though she did tell me... the disease should and would pass to all chickens quite quickly, so testing like people's main Rooster and a few hens should be good enough. But the size I plan on keeping fulltime (25) she tested them all and told me for the eggs I sell to the public/pals, all hens involved and the Roos I keep in the future i should have tested...
Apparently the disease affects their laying fertilization capabilities. So cool...
Now the chicks I started selling this year, she recommended I have all tested since I could correctly state with proof that all possible parents have been individually tested and certified NPIP approved.
For those who haven't done it yet, only age 4 months and older can be tested.

And YES, I left them in the coop and caught each one for her... only took a quick prick and blood absorption and they were free... to stay mad at me ALL day long! LOL
But a very nice experience...

Congratulations!

Morning La-yers! asking for good thoughts today -- just dropped off both of my beloved puppies (they'll be 10 this year but to us will always be our puppies) both have surgery today - Winnie has a tumour in her back & Mal has a big warty growth on his face. My Mom (82) has a Dr apt this morning - she had a weak spell and her blood pressure dropped drastically yesterday, and Jim has a Dr apt also - more tests to see if he's over his C-Diff or not.

I'm at work - which sometimes is my pool of sanity. Like today. I'm fixing to empty my supply cabinets & do inventory on them. Trying to keep my mind occupied until all of my loved ones are safe back at home.

FYI. I had to by a cord for my laptop. To replace my cord hp wanted 60 bucks plus tax and shipping . My cord has to pieces. So after getting told they weren't in stock and going from co. to co. I was given the number to Trademoon.com. They had my part it stock it was 8 dollars no shipping or tax. I couldn't believe it . So 2 days later I get my cord it's the wrong half of the cord and it's my fault that I got the wrong cord. So I called them and told them what happened so I could order the rite cord. It cost 40 bucks again no shipping or tax now here's the above and beyond part they deducted the cord I didn't need and was my fault I got the wrong one. So if you need parts etc. use this co. Their price was lower than other company's my cord arrived two days after I ordered it. Told me to keep the part I didn't need and deducted the price of that cord from the one I need. I don't know about you but I haven't had customer service like that in a very long time. Pam

Thank you all SO much - you have NO idea how much I appreciate you guys. Ya'll are the best! Vet just called & the pups made it through w/no problems & I can leave at 3 & go get them. My Mom was dehydrated -- good thing to remember for all of us w/summer coming - the older you get the more you need to stay hydrated - her Dr told her he wanted both of them to stop every hour & take a few sips of water or whatever. Now to just hear from Jim.
