Oh Dear so sorry i haven't been here i have so much going on chicks hatching and you name it i'm doing it.
I agree with speckled hen too!
My friend dealt with alot of birds from different places and it was bound to happen.
I don't feel that sorry for him as he basically brought it on his self by bringing in so many different birds.
I have never purchased a bird from him and wouldn't.
I too will never be licensed or be NPIP due to so much govt involvement.
I take all the necessary precautions to insure my flock is healthy and disease free.
I cull any bird i purchase that shows signs of illness and i have never used antibiotics.
I love breeding and raising chickens and will continue as long as God will let me.
