I am so thankful for this information as we have purchased all of our chickens from a well known hatchery we have been offered the chance to buy some of the neighbors chicks when hatched. this is all I needed to realize that I should stick with the 60 chicks we have and either order new chicks when we cull or to hatch them our selves to avoid many of these possible scenarios. I am sure to not get ahead of myself and wait a couple years before we try to incubate. thanks again for sharing this.<br />Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528864529877351456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108629228598820747.post-14035213567115429412014-03-30T13:57:18.233-07:002014-03-30T13:57:18.233-07:00I am so saddened to know that you went through thi...I am so saddened to know that you went through this and remember the farmers in England who tried to fight off the army that came to destroy their sheep because of the hoof and mouth disease that spread from France. Of course, they coudn't fight them off and the flocks of hundreds were destroyed and farmers lost their farms without the income. 2 questions arise: You and your family ate their eggs. Were you exposed?#2: Did the Government ask for where you got the eggs from? They should have to get to the farm that is the cause.<br />Dorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108629228598820747.post-43967592302921622162014-03-27T23:57:23.743-07:002014-03-27T23:57:23.743-07:00Deborah, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

I do test my flock each year with the local State of Florida agriculture team. I hope this finds you healing and looking to create a new flock very soon.Michelle Rothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108629228598820747.post-91464045944729056682014-03-19T20:58:08.726-07:002014-03-19T20:58:08.726-07:00Oh Deborah I am so very sorry.
