I think Sally went AWOL again so this goes out to anyone with npip status,,,,are any of you in lancaster county that can do your own testing.....let me explain a little, I have no interest in npip for I very seldom sell eggs or chicks, but after watching what Bruce has been going thru, I feel that even as a small backyard flock, it is everyone's responsibility to know what the flock in your yard is carrien around with them....I am under no illusion, for I feel that 90% of flocks are harboring something that just does not show......but if my flock is a carrier than I feel I should be able to warn others...no I would not cull for simple things, but I would close the flock and send nothing out alive...
not wanting to start a big health debate here, just looking for someone who will come do some random testing for a reasonable fee.....looking to test for more than just what is covered in npip....really more of a random thing...
side note......great pics....I knew someone had to get chicks for christmas, this is a chicken site after all...
Ray, bet there's more of a market than you would think.
speaking of farm show,,, if I go this year it will have to be sunday, I hate going that day, to crowded
It's so nice, I got so much stuff done outside.
