Maybe because most of us are not law breaking criminals willing to risk everything on the off chance our birds start an epidemic..... You must be someone that does not believe the rules apply to him...thankfully you are the minority.

15 states require ms/mg testing..several require AI testing to import birds to them....

Now I will have nightmare for a week!!! You happy with yourself??? Poooooor me.

Eat the dux, ( or compost them like @BantyChooks does) is the only thing I can think of..... :lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau

Blind Squirrel-acorn....... Blind Pig-Truffle....

As always you are correct. There is more to NPIP than just the testing. Just because you test your birds does not authorize you to fill out a 9-3 form..

It ranges from 150 breeding stock (chickens) and 15-30 Turkeys. AT some times I have 400-500 here. This is low time now. I am way down now, to around the 150 number..WHICH is the number I said I would get to and some doubted it..

I have never either. (seen check list) I was scared Poopless on the first visit of the USDA vet. In Minnesota some people are inspected by the state some by the USDA. I happen to be in the USDA Vet's area. She was super. She liked what I did, but I am a germophobe according to some here...

To ship chicks they do, unless they want to pay for a vet to check each batch, if they could even find a vet able to test a chick and still make the shipping regulations of a day old. The OP was asking about chicks. You are just trying to pick at straws. No one said every state has the same...

Lets get back to what we were discussing and off this tangent you have found. Yes, adult birds can be shipped with vet papers and testing to most if not all states. I do not know that. I do know I ship a ton of birds. If you look on the list Wy does not require a 9-3. I shipped to Wy twice...

Also many people do not seem to realize hatching eggs are considered poultry and need the same NPIP credentials to be legally shipped.

That is a misleading statement as the USDA still requires NPIP for interstate shipment of birds. Feds trump states on this.

The form 9-3 they talk about is a for only an NPIP approved facility can issue. The main thing other thing the states will ask for is AI testing. The catch 22 is the USDA requires a 9-3 and NPIP for interstate shipments of poultry even if the state like Wy does not.

Don't believe everything you read on BYC...5 seconds on Google shows there are rules to sell chicks, from anywhere but home... http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/news/brochures/TAHCBrochure_FowlRegistration.pdf http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/animal_health/poultry/

Ps...when they said sell chicks I assumed at swaps and sales... https://www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability/downloads/rule_movement_poultry.pdf

Shipping out of state is USDA rules...NPIP... To sell from your farm you do not need to be NPIP....but to sell birds under 5 months you must be NPIP at swaps or public sales.

I have no idea about Texas rules but here Ducks and Chickens have to be housed separately.
