I had a bantam Cochin cockerel successful fertilize a large fowl Orpington, to say she was accommodating would be an understatement. I'm not calling her 'loose', but if he was within 15 feet of her, she squatted.

I have really been missing out on the PA Unite fun!!! I see now doing a search through over 4000 posts!!!

I am in need of advice, I see that you are people in the know. Having chickens over 3 weeks, shipped into PA. Regulations seem to require Avian Influenza test docs.

Is that all that is required? Where does the document go? On the box, in a shipping sleeve?

I appreciate your help so much.

I googled it and got this page.

I think the rule is that the birds must be from an NPIP certified flock in order to be mailed. But I'm not positive. Are you shipping the birds, or are they being shipped to you?
 
It is a great idea!! One of the things I'm setting up on the homestead is fly buckets in our fenced off compost pile ( chicken run)
Left overs from butchering or road kill go in bucket with few holes drilled along the top to allow flies access to the buffet you set out they lay their eggs in there and in between the bottom of bucket and rotting fly meal leave space to have mesh to allow larvae to drop down and have holes drilled in it and the larvae aka maggots fall out into a shallow feeding pan. The chickens learn quick what it is and its a great renewable protien source spring into fall.
It seems gross and smelly.. but hey if its good for the chickens why not lol
 
We use a cookie tin heater & one of the strands of lights went out so we had frozen water first thing this morning. It was predicted to be -10 to 20 here last night so we put the red heat lamp in the coop, that kept it around 24 which was good. We rarely use the heat lamp as the girls do not like the light. I read they are not supposed to be able to see the red but my girls must be able to. I went out around 11 to check on them & one was one the lower roosting bar by herself & another one was walking around on the floor of the coop. I don't like to get it too warm in the coop for them.
