How do I get a NPIP number?

[CindyS]

I live in Illinois and call Dept of agriculture in Springfield they gave me a number of a person who they said tests birds, so I called him and he said he only tests his own birds and cant get me a number. I need to get my birds tested but I don' t know how to get this done, can someone help?

I think there is a lady up near Joliet that does testing on the birds. She is an Ameraucana breeder so you might be able to find her under the Ameraucana thread.
