Is it illegal to sale chickens without being NPIP certified?

[Sally PB]

Its a fact that I'm NPIP certified. I live within a score of miles of a state line, and a brief drive from two others. Crossing those State lines with birds requires they originate from an NPIP flock - that's the law. But I try to be honest about what NPIP means when asked.

I don't believe that I am behaving deceptively when my actions are taken as a whole.

No, not at all! You (and others) have been very helpful in explaining this topic. For you, in your location, it certainly makes sense, if you plan on selling birds.

The first time I heard of NPIP, I was under the impression it was quite a bit more "insurance" against disease than it is. I've since learned a lot more about it.

Yikes! I wasn't implying anyone in particular, especially not you @U_Stormcrow .

Sorry all, I'm touchy tonight, and feeling unusually unforgiving about the great unwashed masses of American Humanity. Blame Facebook, I made the mistake of stepping into a "discussion" of economics, inflation, and Constitutional structure there.

I understand the whole ugly history of Poll/Voting Literacy Tests, and why that power can't be entrusted to anyone, because they are *always* abused in time - but I find myself desperately hoping the vast majority of the people I "conversed with" on Facebook today don't vote. EVER.

Again, apologies that my mood bled over here. I think I'm going to shut down for the night.

I've been reading up on some threads on here about being NPIP certified. For what I've seen, it's a bunch of BS (pardon my language.) But is it illegal to sale chickens locally (I have no intention of shipping) in Georgia without being NPIP certified?

Thanks in advance.

*I am not a lawyer, this is just my opinion

NPIP is really just extra "regulation" (probably to make it harder for smaller poultry breeders to start up, monopolizing hatcheries, but that's a tangent for another day).
I don't live in Georgia (so I don't know about GA laws), but you could probably sell them locally, being sure to let buyers know that they aren't getting NPIP certified chickens.

NPIP is voluntary, and often free (or heavily subsidized). I linked the GA laws at the start of this thread. Later, I linked the NPIP "landingpage" itself. They are useful in forming opinions.

Your assumption about the purpose of NPIP is way off - though some States generally unfriendly to backyard poultry are busy tacking on additional requirements unrelated to tracking and eradicating P-T and AI to advance their anti-personal poultry crusades, they do not seem to be doing so at the behest of large poultry producers, who largely aren't a significant presence in those states.

"Organic"? That word as defined and regulated by our Gov't better fits your preconceptions.

I'm not a lawyer either.

Thanks for correcting me. Sorry if my post sounded uneducated.

I'm in a bad mood. Apologies. I really am logging off for the evening.

No idea what happened here. But thanks for all helpful replies.

Can I put on Bumble that I test negative for NPIP?

Bumble? The scary dating app thing?
