What do you guys pay for NPIP testing? I just want a ballpark range, lol. Right now there are 32 adults, several chicks.

Depends on the state. I was told here it is $30 and includes AI.

Does anyone have a colorful flock is EEs or non-standard colored Ameraucanas?

I have lost 5 hens to a predator and so I am looking for some eggs. I would like blue eggs, fertilized by a blue egg layer.

um, because I don't know any better? I guess I should take them out? I turned it off.

How many more are hatching? I don't think I would open the incubator any more because your humidity will drop and you will have shrink-wrapped chicks. Just watch them and they should be fine.

And it's true! It NEVER gets old!

Here NPIP for just pullorum is $80 to submit, but that's most likely because Wisconsin has the Wisconsin Tested Flock program, which is free, and is basically the same thing but for smaller breeders. I did NPIP just to avoid having to explain what *** is (not to mention, the acronym *** doesn't mean "Wisconsin Tested Flock" to most people) and to avoid issues with other states postentially not accepting it as NPIP equivalent.

Think I'll look into AI testing next, as far as costs. AI isn't done here since WI hasn't had an AI case since 1968, I think. However, other states want them tested to import, no matter what, so we'll see what it costs to get AI certified.


edit: OK, THAT is funny. Acronym for Wisconsin Tested Flock is bleeped.

Set down an  made a list of all my chickens - almost at 160 Not sure when this happened? I have chicks hatching now, a bunch that need to be put in lock down, a couple of dozen that need to be put in the turner. I am afraid to go look at what I still have coming........

Does anyone besides me have trouble keeping the DUST down in the barn? I keep things cleaned, but I can not get control of the dust.... Any Ideas???

OK I don't have nearly that many, but I do have lots of dust. All I keep thinking is I need to take the shop vac out there.
