NPIP Certification.

Georgia NPIP only tests for two diseases. It only requires your flock be Pullorum-Typhoid Clean and Avian Influenza Clean. This is why 97% of hatchery chicks have MS even though they are NPIP, because you are allowed to have mycoplasma on NPIP.

NPIP does not mean disease free.

great information I have been looking in to getting some chickens and this is something I had to google ?

I had never heard of this and actually had to Google NPIP when looking on a website for poultry keepers. I found the article quite informative and educational. Thank you for sharing and I will definitely know to ask any person trying to "give" my niece novelty birds if they have this certification.
