As a breeder (and seller) I will absolutely not allow anyone to my farm. I will show them pictures of the breeding stock and of the pens, etc. If they can't respect or understand the reasons for it then they're not worth my time in selling them birds. It's not about hiding anything at all. Rather, it's about protecting your investments; it's about biosecurity. Any given person can track disease onto your property via their clothing or shoes, even the tires on their cars.
When I became NPIP certified the state vet that came to my farm asked about my visitor policy. He stated it is so important for people to understand how risky it is to allow anyone off the street to come visit your chickens. A person can lose their NPIP status for improper biosecurity like that not to mention their whole flocks to sickness and disease. I chose to become NPIP certified so I can ship birds and eggs all over the country. Even if I hadn't, I still would adopt a strict no-visitor policy. I have too much invested in my birds to not.
I understand where you might think we have something to hide but many people don't, they just are very serious about health and biosecurity of their chickens.
do you provide refrences of happy customers?

Quote: Because of the AI requirement. VA is one of the few states that require it. The AI testing requires lab tests on swabs from a number of birds in the flock. Also it has to be done every 6 months.
NPIP is once a year and is subsidized in most places that require it. Also shipper must get a permit from the state of VA to ship there.
