I think the 'hardest' part is the worrying you do while waiting for them to arrive at their destination. Most of the time they get there without issue

Do you buy the postage stamp(s) at the post office when you take the bird(s) in or do you preorder them? Thanks.

Do you have to be NPIP certified to ship outside your state?

You dont ship them with stamps.
You go there, have them in the special chicken shipping box,
they weigh it, they tell you the cost, you pay it, then they put the postage slip on there.
It would take a TON of stamps, lol

Most states you DO! However PO stated that they never check NPIP status or see health papers. Its the responsibility between buyer and seller. I've shipped birds without any NPIP papers to NY and never had any issues with the others either. However VA and WA are very strict about it.

If you got one bird you want to ship out and don't have an NPIP certification when you need it, health papers from your vet would be sufficent enough and your vet can draw blood for pullorum and tyhoid if you want something else like MG or MS tested, that would cost extra.
