Heya!
Danz, I've only been asked ONE time to supply my NPIP papers EVER, and it was a seller who is NPIP and follows her state's rules carefully, though SHE has never been asked. I included them inside the box of eggs.
I've never been asked about NPIP papers when shipping eggs or BIRDS other than that, and I've shipped to most states, including Alaska. I know Hawaii follows different rules and doesn't allow shipping there. I need to update my testing, btw, so if you are going to get a bottle, I'll help out if you want to stop by on your way to Tobleaka someday! I had a vet do it last time and it was free because I also had him do the AI testing, but that may not be an option now. He was also doing all of RevolutionMama's birds, as I was on a separate piece of her former property, so he probably tested 300 birds that day. We were all covered in blood by the end of it, and it was awful. Very unsanitary the way it was done that day.
Rittert, I am down to a pair of Porcelain d'Uccles and a quad of the Lavender- I'll take $40 for the pair and $100 for the quad, or $125 for all, first paid takes them. Obviously not hatchery birds. I'm surprised how many people have bitten on this- I posted on the d'Uccle thread, too. I know I never had any trouble selling eggs like mad, last couple of years.
Cherwill, one thing you can do is flip your waterer over at night. Then put it back right-side-up in the morning, and any water not frozen will drain back down while the ice stays at the top and thaws faster due to the sun's heat. Works for metal waterers, too, but not quite as well.
I've got a couple of those heated dog water bowls full of sand here at home (not electricity out at the farm) and put the gallon waterers on top of the sand, set down just a bit. Works well after the sand heats up.

It is like a GP dog fan club here! ha!
Hope Marshmallow is feeling better this afternoon!
