lol....McMurray Hatcheries in Iowa are being so helpful to me right now!
They are the only hatchery I can find the special breeds I want to buy.
They explained about the required Health Papers.
They cost $60.00
To be sure I called both the Canadian and American borders where I would be dealing with...also very helpful people!
McMurray will be faxing a sample of a Health Document to me in Canada as the Canadian border suggested so I can in turn call the border and either fax to them? or at least call them with the documents details. They will tell me if it's all they need!
Border patrol gentleman said "I don't want you to get here and there's something wrong with the paperwork! then we'd have to have a tiny little bar-b-q!"
Very helpful people....wish me luck!
Next bridge to cross will be passport, I don't have one, so will get a friend with a passport to go into the closest American post office, which is Havre, to pick up the chicks once they arrive, and if they don't arrive on time? that would mean a motel room I guess?
As I understand the town of Havre is another 45 minute drive across the border into the States. This could be a problem if they do not arrive. Will have to sit outside the post office all day waiting? I really hope this isn't too complicated. I think the gentleman said if they got delivered to the actual border I would HAVE to be there to except them, they will not take the delivery themselves - maybe that be easier? just wait at the actual border? need to ask McMurray if they would ship to the border office. Then I would take the papers into the border office? and go on my merry way.
Anyone done this before?
