Well, had a friendly meeting with the TAHC guy.  He just wanted to count chickens, to follow up from TAMU and he did.  Left me a packet  of information and card with any questions.  He liked what he saw.  Everyone that comes out comments that we have a nicer set up than most folks they go and examine.  It makes me wonder what on earth is going on out there?  I guess they like the various coops that are built to keep the birds in and the fenced area to let them free range too when they are out of their coops.   So, on to NPIP.  I am looking forward to it.

So what is the purpose of counting chickens? Do they come out and count chickens yearly or what? Why are they involved if the poultry folks from TAMU are the ones doing the testing and such?
 
It is a beautiful day near Houston TX so I figured I would take my 2 week old chicks out to play in the yard for a bit. Encountered a few problems. First, one started panting a little after maybe 15 minutes of being outside (had water and had drank). This weather is NOT HOT (75) especially compared to our summers. Do they pant when nervous or were they hot? I put them in the shade and they stopped but how do I get them used to hot weather?
 
Anyone in San Antonio have an incubator up and running or a Broody hen wanting to hatch something? I have a predicament, I got a fertilized egg from an amazing set of Japanese bantams and I come home to find my hen no longer broody! I don't own an incubator and don't know what to do!
