Pullorum Typhoid is passed to egg by a carrier hen. Most chicks die- ones that survive become carriers. NPIP would protect you from that.
I try to ony get NPIP since my flock is tested- but I have risked it, as chicks are separate from the flock for a while. If I where to have a bunch of chicks die, I would have to cull the remaining to protect my flock. Then I would go in lockdown to sanitize and eradicate.
I plan on going to a swap this month to sell some quail an stuff- I have already decided I won't be bringing anything back due to close contact with other people's birds that may not be certified, even if I have to give them away.

I am waiting to be seen to be NPIP Certified. What exactaly will they do when they come out? I always have my birds tested before putting them in show and they have always shown clean. Will they test EVERY bird, or a sample. Will they do my peafowl also??

They did a sampling for the Pullorum Typhoid, and every bird I wanted to use for a breeder for A1. Ummm, maybe it was the other way around. I can't remember. But yes, they do test every bird you want to use in a breeding program for one of the things. I only had 12 or so birds tested, and once he got set up/ it took him no time at all. He swabbed their mouths and took a blood sample from the under side of the wing. The blood sample test is done on site- and it is only done on a sampling of the birds. The swab is sent to the lab and took three weeks to get the results back

They will do it to your peafowl if you want them to, for a breeding program.

Do they do the chicks also? Over all I have 8 peafowl and 46 adult birds (penned for breeding), 21 chicks and 7 or 8 old silkies that I just let run amok. I also have rabbits. Will they test them for anything as they are in the same barn?

Would anyone be interested in full aprons for Christmas gifts? I am working on two of them tonight-hoping to have at least one done by bedtime. I will post pictures tomorrow sometime. They will be $25 which includes shipping.
