Has anyone heard anything about the feeds that we use being tainted with salmonella? hillendale and the other mass egg farm were selling thier feeds out to different distributors.

I have to give a shout out to Charlie at the wilds of Pa. He did a fantastic job of packing and shipping eggs. I ordered some black orp eggs from him, and to be nice he threw in a couple WO.
All was well bator running well and steady. Set eggs out as they arrived at 8 AM and I had them home by...
To make a long story short ,We have had such a difficult time finding good austraslorps that would not only live the life of riley, but would be well represented and shown and full credit to the founding breeders.Even put out offers for up to 200.00 for a dozen hatching eggs but just not finding...
I happened across this and thought it was interesting .

Maybe someone...
