"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Ok folks I need to put a little input on this NPIP. First off anybody selling a chicken or any other fowl or eggs across a STATE line that is not NPIP is breaking the law. It is required to ship either in almost all states. I ship eggs and birds daily and dont want fines or anything else so thats the main reason I am NPIP I also know that bio security is a viable argument to a point but you cant control everything. I personally dont let anyone in my pens mainly because I have quite a few wild breeds and expensive breeds that I cant afford to replace if I lose them for something simple as that. I also dont buy from anyone that isnt certified just for the sake I know some of the known issues wont be present. I quarantine any bird that come from somewhere else also. Julie has a leggit reason for what she does and not everyone has those reasons so wether you choose to be NPIP or not or as bio protective, is each persons perrogative and what suits there needs That said I believe all sellers should be certified and the sellers and breeders that are not should be and no one should actually purchase from one that doesnt have the respect to test their flocks. I am not speaking of backyard hobbiest I am speaking 100% on breeders. The laws state you are supposed to be and I personally feel if you are ducking the testing theres probably a reason.

Very well said Mike.

Welcome to the newbies
Congrats on the hatch missy told you you were gonna love that bator
Hope everyone else is fine and ready for more storms
Still lookin for whiskeybay if anybody runs across her.

The part in bold I agree with so much! It's kinda like "Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD!!" Why would you risk everything just cause your lazy?? Cause if someone has that much business as Jeff mentioned then even in the states that charge for it you can afford to have it done. But one day when it comes back to bite someone on the butt and they get fined out the wazoo...... Well it'll be interesting then!!

Thanks Mike!! Yes you were so right!! Guess I'll be making you some cookies!! What's your fav???

Miss, how many eggs do you have in your incubator? 500? That joker is big enough to incubate eggs for the whole neighborhood.

I wish that I knew how to incubate.



I'm a LOSER when it comes to incubating.

I think right now about 60 or so.. I have 24 more Nargansett eggs coming (don't ask they were lagniappe) plus 17 Easter Eggers. (don't ask either they were lagniappe too!) and if they keep laying the way they have I should have at least 4 dozen saved up by next Wednesday so they will hatch right before the show!!

I'll have babies everywhere's...

Yes, that's what this guy told me last week. He said chicken eggs are easier. He said that he will give me some Cuckoo Maran eggs to practice with. I don't think my chicken eggs are too fertile because I only have about 4 roosters and they have to cover 80 hens and I don't see them working any overtime, if you know what I mean. :/ So, it would useless to practice with my own eggs. So when I get the Cuckoo Maran eggs, I'll try again. I will get a humidity gauge this time to make sure the humidity is ok. I will turn the incubator back on a few days before I'm scheduled to get the eggs from him.

I guess I won't give up too soon. :/

Sounds like chicken swap will be at your place.

Ha Ha yep!! I just went and candled my eggs. The ones that go one lockdown Sunday 3 out of 13 were clear. On the others that have a couple of weeks left ALL were progressing..

That means my rooster is doing his job!!

That means lots of Speckled Sussex babies!!
