Yea you right it does feel good. After all they depend on us to take care of them.

It does not matter if the origin of your birds were NPIP'd or not(even though it's a good thing).That doesn't mean that by some off chance the diseases haven't made it on your yard. If you came into contact in any way with infected birds or someone with infected birds,you could have brought it home with you. It could be carried by wild birds coming across your yard. Many ways of transmission. So you still need your own testing done. As forthe boxes...Chicks/chickens have to be shipped in approved shipping boxes. If it's chicks, Cutler supply has them really cheap. Older birds you should find a New Horizon shipping box.

Okay thank you Whiskey Bay a lot! I do have a shipping box that says it is for shipping live poultry. I will take a picture of it to make sure it is alright to use and big enough for two small 2 month old silkies. One more question, how do I know if I am free of the diseases npip tests for? I hope I don't fail the test! What would happen?!

Also, I emailed Dr. Barrington about npip and shipping info. Hopefully they respond!

In all honesty, It's possible to never know that your bird(s) may be carriers.The pros of the testing is you will know that your birds are clean and healthy for those particular diseases. Cons are,they don't test for everything,and if your flock is found to be positive carriers they will destroy the birds. Unfortunately,even buying from NPIP'd flocks, does not always mean safety. Usually the person who actually has their birds tested shows more enthusiasm for the health and well being of their birds.Thus showing they will be better taken care of. BYB just collect flocks and breed and sell.With little or no time invested.

Hey When I am looking for the Space Station to fly over,am I looking for a small object high in the sky or bigger low in the sky?...lol... It's supposed to be through here a few times this week, and I'd really like to see it.It was supposed to be through this evening,but it's so cloudy I doubt I could see it.

I'm getting nervous! I sure hope I pass and don't get my birds destroyed.... I don't know what I would do if I fail! Do they then five me a paper that says I am pullorom free? Say I get the birds tested but they don't give me papers. Could I still ship the pair and if I get questioned, then give them my papers? Thanks!

A little while after the testing you will get a paper in the mail with your NPIP#. They also have a booklet almost like a recipt book that your supposed to fill out and ship with them!!

It's almost like an airplane in the sky -- it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be -- and moving a lot slower than I thought it would -- it'll go by tomorrow night (cloudy here tonight too, darn it -- I wanted to see some more of the Perseid meteor showers but no chance tonight) -- tomorrow night about 8:40 our time.


Good luck w/the shipping Joe; I sure wouldn't risk it this time of year w/the heat & humidity -- it gets so hot in the USPS trucks & terminals & even in the cargo holds of the planes when they are on the ground -- you know, they won't ship dogs or cats this time of year on the airlines, and the distance you are talking about - they will have to go on an airline at some point - can you pack some ice in there w/them or something to keep them cool?

Have a good night everybody!
