Insurance for sending hatching eggs.

[HomseyFarm]

Hello. I carry a lovely strain of New Hampshire Chickens and want to sell some hatching eggs. What insurance would cover this? At present, the birds are not immunized, but I have testing in place for NPIP certification, mareks, and mycoplasma.

What do you mean by insurance?

I'm not sure if this would come under product or general liability. Although, I would test my flock every 90 days, I simply could not afford someone suing me if by chance my hatching eggs carried a disease.

Ohhhhh. I'm not so sure you have to worry about getting sued. People sell diseased birds all day long and don't think twice about it. It's not against the law...it's just wrong.

Interesting question! You might try posting on this forum and see if anyone there can answer it: Incubating & Hatching Eggs

Hope you find the answer you need, best wishes!

I'm already NPIP insured. I'm just seeking liability insurance, I have some for my farmers market.

There's no such thing that I know of. As long as you're regularly tested for your npip certification, you're ok.
