The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[delisha]

My english ladies really love blueberries (the roo's always give them up to the girls, but I'm sure they like them too)... Is it crazy that I buy fresh berries for my chickens? I'd never thought about it really until I was talking to a lady (saw the berries in my cart) who said she could not justify buying them for herself at that price, and that I must really love them... I felt kinda sheepish.

I buy berries for the chickens when I do not have any left and do not feel an ounce of regret or remorse other than i did not freeze enough.

I have a mulberry bush (actually a 20 foot tree) and for about a month in the summer my chickens have purple beaks, purple feet and purple poo

They sure love mulberries!

Not much grows in Dayton NV... I wish they liked tumbleweeds.

I buy my chickens fresh produce all the time! Im starting to add everything up and im spending around $40 per week on produce right now. I grow a big garden every year with just about everything possible to grow in 6 months. I am anxious about starting this year!

Does anyone have the list of embargoed zip codes? I was sending birds to a zip starting with 148 and the birds were returned to me. The information I received was effective today. The other person received his birds. I need the list, but can't find it. I asked at our main PO, when I was getting my birds back, and they couldn't "find" that information. Can someone direct to it, please?

These were not GL. Just in case someone that wants GL chicks reads this. I do not have any GL chicks for sale or trade.
