Does it matter where I get my eggs from?

Diseases that can be transmitted up via the egg are pretty rare but it could happen....being NPIP certiied doesn't test for those diseases. And being NPIP certified only tells someone that the flock (actually a small percentage of the flock is tested) was 'free of disease' at the time of testing.

I have bought eggs on eBay many times, never have had disease's from those eggs, some were NPIP, some not....actually it's safer than buying juvenile or full grown birds from a breeder, especially the ones who advertise on Craigslist.

NPIP does not mean they are disease-free guys.

And yes it 100% matters where you buy eggs from.
People lie all the time.
Research research research any seller before you purchase from them.

Lying about things such as being npip certified sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen

A lawsuit...no dear. No one is going to waste the money it cost to try to sue someone over a lie that doesn't mean much.
