June Hatch-A-Long

Can a friend send you eggs?
Yes, I did get some eggs "on the down low" once but I also had eggs sent back return to sender, because the breeder did not know they needed permits and they wrote "hatching eggs" all over the box. I got a phone call, an e-mail and an official letter from the department of agriculture. They were not happy about it and let me go with a "warning". As some one who doesn't even speed on the highway, freaked me out a little bit!😬🤣

Wow did not know you needed a license/permit to mail hatching eggs. Well, now I know. Good thing I've never mailed eggs nor do I ever want to.
 
Only certain states require it. Hawaii is one of them! Everyone else can just send eggs in the regular mail without a permit I believe. Because of the limited availability here in Hawaii, have to do the shipped eggs If you want specific breeds.😊
 
Recently I got eggs from ebay, and they wanted my home address so they would know where the chickens would be hatched.
Yes, I could not get anybody on eBay to send me eggs because of the Hawaii thing! I actually wrote to 25 different ameraucana breeders and only two would send to Hawaii!
Some people are under the false assumption that the eggs would have to be in quarantine but they don’t have to be. That’s only other kinds of birds. Day-old chicks and eggs can be sent through regular mail, a permit just has to be applied for and approved. Have to have a current NPIP. Things move very slowly here so it does take several weeks to get the permits approved. The big hatcheries already have all their paperwork in order so they can send to Hawaii fairly easily.😊
 
We have an external pip! Now here's hoping that everything goes well with this one and the rest of them start pipping!

Hello, first time joining hatch-a-long. I am a complete hatchaholic who just got a new toy. I had a janoel-12 and a rite farm 3600, in which I was hatching once or twice a month, but I just got my Dickey's 3x1 set-up on Friday. I have 5 buff silkie eggs off of ebay that go into lockdown on Tuesday. And I set up 46 brown layer eggs and 10 golden laced polish eggs. Safe to say I am loving my new incubator and my addiction is about to get enabled a lot more.

Welcome! Can't wait to see the golden laced polish!:)

In the US you have to be NPIP certified or you cannot ship eggs.
