Walt and Don~
About the NPIP thing and shipping....I will have to find the paperwork that I have from the USDA and federal regulations about shipping eggs and live birds in the U.S. and post it here for everyone and yes you are correct Walt each state is different, but in generalities they each have regulations. California is completely different. I have a sheet that lists the states and their requirements.
BTW: NPIP here in Washington State is ridiculously expensive and not so easy, later when I have more time I will elaborate. I get so mad at Washington State because other states are very inexpensive and easy to get certification in.....fact most of the Southern States its free. My neighboring Oregon is something like $25....not Washington. I would need to take out a loan.
Have a great day friends!
