B-Kat Ranch offers the best eggs around. There has been a lot of news of Salmonella in commercial eggs, and increased diagnosis of Mycoplasma Gallisepticum in backyard flocks. B-Kat participats in testing done at Purdue’s Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. The voluntary testing program, called Indiana’s Test Twelve (T-12), analyzes the eggs using a serological egg yolk antibody test. The diseases being tested for are Salmonella pullorum, Salmonella gallinarum, Salmonella entritidis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Mycoplasma synoviae and avian influenza. Our eggs always score negative on all tests.
B-Kat Ranch uses (and loves) the Little Giant Poultry Founts. These dependable waterers hook up to any standard 1/2 inch NPT pipe to provide a limitless supply of clean water. In the winter we have to turn off the water supply to the chicken coup which meant that we had to lug water in buckets to the chickens. This year will be a little different. We have placed in service a 55 gallon drum attached to the Little Giant.

Very informative. Bet I could raise chickens in the Dougout.
Nice blog, very good information.
So how do the chickens dispose of their waste? Do you have Poultry porta potties?
