A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I am NPIP and I can ship when he is ready if the frost has not hit here.

Eggs and chicks are considered the same thing when importing to another state.


Memphis - not too sure but that an airport might be a better option for @JRNash anyway!!
:bow:oops::ya


A parking ramp under his house would give him some safety margins....

I had a friend in Louisiana re-built his house on stilts after a flood, put the carport under the house and mounted a 2" steel pipe anchored to the top and bottom of his stairs. Parks his boat next to the stairs and when it floods, just hooks the boat to the pipe and releases it from the trailer.:old

If our Florida house had ever been destroyed or major renovations we were required to put it on stills or have knock out walls under it. We needed to have the house 13 feet higher than it was. However, the house was built in 84, and has never flooded. The area has not had a flood since 1950, if I recall correctly....Just our government watching out for me and of course collecting the $18,000 a year I was forced to pay in flood damage... Had I put the money in the bank instead, I could have built 2 houses like it in the 12 years I owned it and maybe 3. Depending on whether I would have needed t rebuilt the pool.
 
Being that he is in Texas, dunno if birds would be doable shipped in... *I think* Texas is super strict, from what I can remember...
You are correct. The last I knew, they require NPIP, Veterinarian Certificate of Health, and an import permit unless the poultry is coming from a recognized hatchery.

Hatching eggs are considered live poultry by all states and are listed under the import specifications for poultry.
 
I am going to ask him if he plans on building new coops - on stilts! Maybe the house, too :)
My red chicken house is basically on stilts. We had lots of lodgepoles lying around from cutting fenceposts, so it's a "polehouse" about two feet off the ground, with walls to the ground on the north and west sides( cuts wind in winter)
