bought eggs that don't have NPIP

[chkinut]

i bought hatching eggs off of ebay about a month ago (she said she would ship beginning of April) and they arn't NPIP certified. i bought them before i knew any better. she had tons of great reviews.....i read loads of them before i actually bought the eggs. i have showgirl eggs in my bator now that ARE NPIP.......so that's good, but i'm worried about my upcoming silkie eggs. do i have cause to be concerned? is this serious?

It may not be a problem at all. Or, apparently it might be a problem. But NPIP doesn't test for everything. Someone started a thread the other day asking what diseases can be transmitted through the egg. Let me find that . . . .oh, here it is: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=311933

NPIP only test for 2 very rarely seen diseases. Most flocks do not have it. You are probably safe.
