Hi PA chicken lovers, I live in West Chester

Welcome! I'm in Pottstown. Quite a few of us close to you.

What kind of poultry do you have (or aspire to have) ?

Hi neighbor! Not far from WC at all.

 Hi,
 I need someone to come to my place in Ligonier and NPIP my flock.
Can anyone help me find someone to do that?
 Thanks,
 Karen

Hey Karen! Are you looking for someone to test your flock? You could call your county extension office. If you're looking for information on NPIP, this website is amazing.

I need someone to test my flock in Ligonier 15658. I was hoping someone here knew someone.
Best,

Good morning all and welcome to all the new people! It's finally a day of rest for us after a crazy week of baseball tournament, coop building, birthday party and drill. I'm so ready for some relaxation lol

Hey all! So as you may know, 2 of my girls have been taking turns laying, so we were getting an egg a day for a week. Yesterday a 3rd girl laid, but neither of the other girls did, however the egg was very small and brittle. It was about the size of a quail egg and when we opened it, there was... well, weirdness is the only way I can describe it. Here are some pics, can someone tell me what this is?!





Sorry about the "background" lol. It's on a napkin that's on a paper plate that had icecream on it (my b-day party was the night before hehe). So, what is this about?!

 

[Blarneyeggs]

I don't know if weirdness even begins to describe what ya got going on there...I haven't seen that before, hope someone with experience chimes in.

Karen, I don't know any CPTs on your end of the state. If you're in Westmoreland county, that puts you in region IV and Dr. Erin Moore would be the vet assigned to your area, she can most likely give you the number of someone certified by you. She is located in Gibsonia and her number is (724) 443-1585. Good luck!

Need to vent

I processed some birds this weekend and my daughter wanted some, my rule to the kids is that, if you want to eat them you must help process them...here is thesticky part.......she is passing that onto her kids ages 4 and 6....
I had the 4 and 6 year old helping me gut, they have perfect size hands for this,,, they did a great jjob, till today...the 6 year old is telling all of her fiends about this, and my daughter is getting angry calls from other parents..

I see nothing wrong with these kids helping, but apparently our backwards society does.

Wingstone, I'd tell her to simply ask if they eat grocery store meat. People are so extremely stupid about where their food comes from. I grew up helping butcher the deer and my kids are now growing up doing the same. Didn't hurt any of us and isn't hurting my kids.
