The USPS lost my shipment of Barred Hollands. I bought another member's entire flock and they are just...poof. They left Springfield, Missouri, and that's the last anyone knows... ***!?!?

Oh NOOOO!! Was there insurance? I really hope they surface and that they are ok.

Yes, thankfully. And the shipping should be refunded since they missed the time and date promised. I just feel like I am at the postal service's mercy since UPS and FedEx don't ship.

I'm getting closer and closer to butchering my own chickens after reading this http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-03/don-t-trust-a-chicken-nugget-that-s-visited-china.html

"Okay, going to be a totally weird question but:


Does anyone know someone who practices falconry?"

There are falconer a in the Pocono area. I did a paper on them in high school. PA requires an apprenticeship, so I would Google Tunkhannock or Mountaintop for some masters to contact.

Will do! Thanks!

I was all like.... 'yeah that sucks, but so what? I can just buy chicken not from China...'


NOT

"Consumers will have no way to tell if those chicken nuggets in the supermarket freezer were processed in the U.S. or in China."

Thats awful...hope your chooks show up...keep after them and don't let up....don't feel bad about making the postal folks uncomfortable...you are paying a premium for live animals and for premium transport...get the managers involved...and if they blow you off get your local politician to make a call....my two cents...

Chad is a good distance from me. We spoke about the cpt thing before. I am most likely going to get certified myself or my BF so I wont have to worry anymore. And does anyone know future dates of the testing in harrisburg for the cpt?

WOW! God bless her...

One of the girls laid a big one today. That had to hurt. 93G according to the kitchen scale.


Got some more work done on the run today.


We're gonna have to re-square the corner. Didn't realize it had drifted up so much while we were putting the top span up.



The storm door is recycled from the old Porch. Hopefully when done, it'll let us let the girls out while we're not home. Keep them in till we get home so they can range supervised.
