  • Water Heaters
    Warm water and a heat bulb will help keep chickens producing eggs through the winter.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    
    GEORGE W BUSH
    We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to
    know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is
    either against us or for us. There is no middle ground here.
    
    COLIN POWELL
    Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
    of the chicken crossing the road.
    
    HANS BLIX
    We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
    allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
    
    JOHN KERRY
    Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road I am now against it!
    
    RALPH NADER
    The chicken's habitat on the other side of the road had been polluted by
    unchecked industrial greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled
    habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the
    wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.
    
    PAT BUCHANAN
    To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
    
    RUSH LIMBAUGH
    I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was
    getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet that somebody
    out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with
    crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this
    can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their
    tax dollars. And when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money,
    money the government took from you to build a road for chickens to
    cross.
    
    MARTHA STEWART
    No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
    standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price
    dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
    information.
    
    JERRY FALWELL
    Because the chicken was gay --- isn't it obvious? Can't you people see
    the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the
    "other side". That's what they call it the other side. Yes, my friends,
    that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay
    too. I say we Boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination
    that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like
    "the other side."
    
    DR SEUSS
    Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
    chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
    
    ERNEST HEMINGWAY
    To die in the rain. Alone.
    
    MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR
    I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads
    without having their motives called into question.
    
    GRANDPA
    In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
    us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
    
    BARBARA WALTERS
    Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
    chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it
    experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its
    life long dream of crossing the road.
    
    JOHN LENNON
    Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together - in
    peace.
    
    ARISTOTLE
    It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
    
    KARL MARX
    It was an historic inevitability.
    
    RONALD REAGAN
    What chicken?
    
    CAPTAIN KIRK
    To boldly go where no chicken has ever gone before.
    
    SIGMUND FREUD
    The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road
    reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
    
    BILL GATES
    I have just witnessed eChicken2003, which will not only cross roads, but
    will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your
    checkbook, - and internet explorer is an integral part of chicken.
    
    ALBERT EINSTEIN
    Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
    chicken?
    
    COLONEL SANDERS
    Did I miss one?
    
    BILL CLINTON
    I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
    chicken?
    
    AL GORE
    I invented the chicken!

    Poultry Shipping Crisis Puts Small Flocks' Futures at Peril

    For decades, the U.S. Postal Service has been a mainstay of the small flock poultry world. Anyone wanting to ship or receive birds has been able to do so in a dependable and economical way. Recent events put this long-standing relationship at peril. While the post office hasn't changed the mailing status of poultry, they have recently entered into contracts with Fed-Ex who by policy will not ship live birds. Northwest, another major air mail carrier has also announced that they will not continue to ship live birds. That leaves only three carriers that can help fulfil the Post Office's obligation to ship birds. That additional pressure and the airline industries trend means that there could soon be no practical way to ship live poultry. The Post Office is obligated to ship the mail which includes live birds. They have a responsibility to require that the companies which they contract with meet these obligations. If a company wants to carry the mail, they should carry all of the mail, not select which pieces they will and won't deal with. Interestingly, several of the carriers that have dropped carrying birds by mail will still carry birds as air freight at much higher prices. If the post office will not live up to its obligation, we feel that legislative action is required to ensure that Post office does meet the ongoing needs of the U.S. citizenship. This impacts everyone who buys and sells birds by mail - hatcheries, small farmers, 4Hers and FFA members, hobbyists, feed stores, schools, zoos and research centers. If you're reading this alert, it probably impacts you!


    Please take a moment and send a letter to your Legislative Representatives and help preserve small flock poultry before it's too late!
