I want the cold to kill all the bugs. Now when spring comes there will be ticks and skeeters everywhere!

No problem. I live on the delmarva peninsula and most of the farmers here are family farms. They take their flocks seriously and put a ton of care into them

Former chicken farmer here. Not only do they destroy my flock but they will euthanize any flock within a certain mile radius. So if my neighbors farm gets it, mine is destroyed. It's very deadly to chickens and contagious, that's why we take bio security so seriously. My farm is off limits to anyone other than myself and a flock advisor and the feed trucks, picking crew etc. We also have bleach pans at every door we have to step onto before entering the houses. Also any "visitors" have to sign in and wear over shoes as to not contaminate the houses. Plus they leave the euthanized flock in the house in a big pile to compost for a while to make sure the Temps get high enough to kill any remaining viruses. Point is that getting bird flu once will pretty much bankrupt a farm because you can't have a new flock for 6 months or so.

Doesn't Walmart carry dead peasants insurance in the employees?

Reply to Potato Chips - What is your favorite brand and type (Regular/Kettle, etc)? by Speakslinux
Grandma utz bbq, middleswarth, and herr salt and pepper. So someone close to my family told me that middleswarth chips have a code on them. Any bbq labeled c4 were the best seasoned.
