I sell fertile chicken eggs on craigslist. I mark them Barnyard Mix (I don't separate breeds), and offer them year round.

What shipping method do you use!? 😁

To ship chicks, must be NPIP, but for eggs, that may vary by state- I think many do not require NPIP for shipping eggs. You should check!

I know in NYS you don’t have to be NPIP to sell on Craigslist. If I’m remembering right you don’t even have to be to sell on eBay. I’ve bought eggs off eBay that weren’t NPIP certified.
If selling on Craigslist you don’t really have to ship them. People just come and pick them up. When you sell on eBay you have to figure out shipping. Ebay and Facebook though have cracked down on selling eggs. You have to word it differently now. You can also sell on Etsy.

CL or eBay don’t care.

USPS cares. For chicks to ship USPS, it is my understanding must be NPIP. However, eggs are classed differently, so OP should be aware of what is required for them.

Yes. Right. Thank you for clarifying. I know to sell eggs on fb or Etsy you have to word it differently. I thought eBay had changed it as well. For chicks you do have to be NPIP certified. But not to ship fertilized eggs. At least in NYS.

I actually don't ship. My customers do local pick up, unless they're willing to travel. And I don't deliver either.
