You know it is really cold when the stand-offish hen decides to roost with the common girls. Ethyl, my snooty EE who sleeps alone, is right in the middle of the roost bar.

I don't blame her, it's cold out there

Craigslist keeps ghosting my ads recently. I don't post on craigslist very often. Perhaps once every few months, and I never spam, repost, do anything that is not allowed. Basically, it tells me the ad is published, but it will never show up on the actual list of ads in a category.

I tried posting a turkey ad a few days ago. I just tried reposting it. I doubt it will work, but it is worth a shot. I give it time for the ad to show up, since it takes time for craigslist to update ads. But never showing up is ridiculous.

I get my layer mash at the feed mill in carson city for 11 and some change and a hundred lbs corn for 12 scratch is 8 something

I haven't been able to put an add up on CL for 2 days. After getting everything typed out I go to submit and the screen blinks out and the whole add is lost grr....

On the subject of dog food, has anyone tried Earthborn?
I switched to it a few months ago and am very happy with it. I hesitated because it's so pricey at around $50 for 28 lbs, but that 28 lbs goes a loooong way without the fillers that are in so many foods. I used to feed Diamond or 4Health but the repeated recalls made me leery.
I'm feeding 3 dogs, all between 45 and 85 lbs, and one bag lasts 3-4 weeks. My 3 year old, 85 lb pitbull only eats about two cups per day and his skin issues have all cleared up. All the dogs look fantastic with shiny coats and good muscle.
The firm little poops are a bonus - so easy to clean up (again because of the lack of filler).

Where do you get the earthborn?

so for anyone wanting to know how to legally import chickens into Michigan...two ways are possible...one the person that you are receiving the birds from have to be npip certified and upon shipping has to send the birds/eggs with the form vs 9-3 and your good to go or the other way...which the sender doesn't have to be npip certified and just sends the birds/eggs and then its the receivers responsibility within 90 days to get a health certificate...those are the two ways...also VERY IMPORTANT FOR MICHIGAN PEOPLE...ASK IF THE BIRDS HAVE BEEN VACCINATED WITH THE ILT VACCINATION....IF THEY HAVE YOU CANNOT HAVE THEM IF YOU DO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WILL PUT DOWN THE BIRDS AND MORE THEN LIKELY THE REST OF THE BIRDS AS WELL....hope this helps

kris the import export persons direct line is 5172845674...
the person for npip questions and such is tina Moreno 5172845683...

THIS IS FOR MICHIGAN ONLY AS EACH STATE HAS THERE OWN IMPORT GUIDELINES.

Did you import the cerami's (sp)? How many are you getting? How are the pied peas doing?

I've given up on posting to craigslist. It seems like 90% of the responses I got are fraud.
