It really is not that hard to get hatching eggs imported from the UK as they are free of END. However, it is very difficult to get hatching eggs from some of the other countries that is not free of END. Hatching eggs from the UK do NOT have to be quarantined. There are other countries where the eggs do have to be quarantined for 30 days - the 30 day quarantine is AFTER the chicks have hatched and the chicks are then tested. The eggs also have to be quarantined and hatched in a USDA approved place. The fees for importing hatching eggs from the UK are relatively small. The permit fee is $137. It takes about 7-10 days for the application to be approved. You can fill the application out on-line and then fax it to the USDA. You do have to get a vet to test the breeders birds (usually at your expense) and fill out the proper paperwork. I think (if I recall correctly) there are 3 specific things that they are testing for. Then when the eggs come in to the US, they have to be inspected by a veterinarian and that price can be anywhere from $35-$125. - depending on if there is a vet on site at that particular port of entry. You CAN choose which port you want your eggs to arrive, but you do have to call 72 hours prior to arrival of eggs. The ports that have a full-time vet are listed on the APHIS website. The biggest expense is the eggs themselves. The permit is good for only 30 days and for one particular shipment only, regardless of the number of eggs you have imported. You have to get a new permit for each shipment of eggs. All the info is on the APHIS website. If you call them, they are very helpful in walking you through the entire process and giving you all the necessary information. I found them to be extremely helpful and very NICE about it.

Hmmm Well I dont know, I would think they would be LF if Greenfire is getting them though.

From what I have been able to find (and I've been researching) the Chocolate Orps are still only available in bantam. If anybody else knows differently, please do tell !!
