Some of us would really like to see Rogers bird and her awards..you can pm them ..I told you that you were going to need a trophy room..

Got no trophy or ribbon it was not a APA show, Only the JR.s got ribbons & the bigger winners in the open show got a plack, here is my coop card with my places on it, & my girl who got them.

That's a good question! The Post office couldnt' provide answers here either. I would like to know what agency imposed the embargo and the document stating the reasons as well as the zip codes. guess i will be on the phone again tomorrow.

I called the FDA couple days ago..they said it is not them...FDA has no embargos imposed at this time....they welcome all NPIP birds shipped to NYS and the other zip codes listed in the embargo ..yet my zip appears in this embargo....There is another lady in here, if she feels like it can explain more.....it has something to do with USPS uses fedX air service for thier mail shipments and live animal shipments..it has something to do with dry ice and feeder whatever that is...YOU CAN SEE IT LISTED PAGE BOTTOM....Birds that were being shipped to me were turned around and sent back yet not long ago others were shipped without incident.. no one at fed X has given anyone a reasonable explanation yet as to what exactly that means.as you can see they stamped it but looks unreadable.

FDA told me they both need and want NPIP birds brought in to strengthen flocks in different locals if diversity cant be moved around birds sometimes become in island situation where only a handful have them become too inbred and eventually its not a good situation..fedx had no egg shipment embargo..only live birds..Husband thinks for some reason it is some sort of liabilty for FEDX and USPS or they wouldnt impose embargo..they may have had birds arrive dead at destinations and complaints ..so its not worth it for FEDX .. if they mishandle birds on route and they die , it turns to animal cuelty issues ect...Due to dry ice or feeder? I dont know

for education purposes here is the cert that was sent back with the birds...
