I'm looking for a couple jersey giants. I live in California. Near Yosemite. Can anyone help? I don't want to order 25 as I am pretty full up on chickens now. Lol.

I am looking for Jersey Giants too, but have not had much luck finding them. I think I'm just not looking hard enough. With MyPetChicken you can order as few as 3 chicks, but shipping is pretty expensive. However they do have Black Jersey Giants in stock.

I have a friend who lives in Antioch who raises Jersey Giants. She is on BYC but doesn't post very often. She has a big, beautiful black cock and just this year brought in some blue and splash girls. I know that she is always looking for breeders to add to her flock. I don't know if she has fertile eggs available or not. I think that her new pullets just started laying eggs so she might have some in a month or two.

If a flock is certified as NPIP clean, does that mean they for sure do NOT have MG?

Not always, depends on the State, maybe even the county in that State.

No. I dont think anyone tests for mg or ms with npip.
