I got a question. All three of my orpingtons went brooding at the same time. Since I have no rooster I've been trying to get them out of that state. So far I've been throwing them out of the coop in the morning and L've moved their coop twice to different locations. They are still brooding. Is there a way to get them out of that state without going having to go out and find some hatching eggs or am I better off just getting it over with and finding some eggs for them to hatch?

Funny thing happened to me this morning (actually not so funny when I got to the bottom of the story). UDSA made a surprise visit to our farm today...........Yes, they are allowed to do that.

Hmmmm......seems that someone turned us in for illegal importing

(all lies I should add at this point).

The USDA inspector and I had a very nice visit. I showed him around the farm. Every coop has a clipboard with the birds picture that is in that coop, their point of origin, number of roos and hens and name of the breed even how to label the eggs ( the chicklets are accounted for as well). Nothing fancy but not much room for error.

He copied all my paperwork, import papers etc., and everything was legal and in order, every bird was accounted for. Not sure who would feel the need to file a false report/accusation, and it is my understanding they don't take to kindly to that either. Kind of disrupts everyone's day..........

Sorry if I posted in the wrong area but seemed to me it would be OK since it pertains to imported orps.

Anyway, I had to give him a whole list of names of illegal importers that I had......(just kidding about the list of names.....

)

The rest of the story is true, just not that last line, I just couldn't pass up the chance to say that

That sucks. Jealousy makes people do crazy stupid things. I'm not saying this is for sure the reason, but I think it's likely. It's always the winner that gets accused of cheating.
