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.

I'm not really sure you could get insurance to cover something like that

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.
