Just the phone number that the store wants for every sale..animal or not. Must not be a national thing!

Just pay attention to the way they're raised and more importantly-how the meat is handled the zillion times before it makes it to your plate! I bet there have been NO problems with home-raised and consumed livestock.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-88612740705449539472009-04-07T08:25:00.000-05:002009-04-07T08:25:00.000-05:00When I bought my chicks several years ago, that's ...When I bought my chicks several years ago, that's when I first hear of NAIS.

Oh well.<BR/><BR/>MM, yeah, it's a pain, huh?

Fun, fun.<BR/><BR/>RA, I wrote a little more about it in the next post, since I think several people were wondering the same thing.<BR/><BR/>SCF, yeah they are going to get you one way or another I guess.

We are planning on getting some chicks after Easter (didn't want to get them before because we have two weekends of travel and couldn't get them until then). I hope we can find some!
