Either that, or the one's that do have it don't mention it to other's that are thinking about wanting to do it because they don't want more competition?

If pursuing NPIP certification proves to be cost prohibitive, then producers can still follow the guidelines, just disclose they’re not NPIP certified.

This reminds me of pursuing organic certification. Even if organic certification proves to be cost prohibitive, I believe a producer should still feel free to follow the organic guidelines, as long as they disclose they are not organic certified.

I have sold some of my hatching egg's and chick's to local people. Some live a few hour's drive from me even, but they come here to buy them.

I can’t be sure whether there’s an effort to limit competition. All I can guess is there is a demand that is not being met. This will continue, I believe, because of the recent 2021 winter weather reducing commercial meat chicken production.
I’ll post the link when I find it.

His daddy was a NN, and his mother was a Red Ranger/Silver Grey Dorking mix. That's where he got his yellow leg's from, but he didn't get the 5 toes. He has the normal 4 toes.

I have a thing for yellow legs

I'm looking for some more of the buff colored NN that have the yellow leg's and the black in the tail. I am planning on crossing them with the Aloha's that also have the yellow leg's.

Excellent! Any challenges to making that work for you?

No, they contact me, and set up a time when they will be coming by to get them. @Parront has some of the one's that I hatched and they are now laying nice egg's for her. I have one NN still here that lays green egg's as her mother was a CCLB.

Problem is you have to be NPIP to go over statelines

I have 5 now. Three white ones that lay green eggs and 2 are mottled silver and lay tan eggs.

The way I look at it is there are a million or more potential customers in Phoenix that I can sell to. I think that if a person is on here and wanted to sell any chickens or eggs, and they sold someone a sick bird, there would be some bad reviews and they would soon stop selling for lack of customers. Google is everywhere! NPIP is a good program for large and professional hatcheries, but for people with just a few birds I think it is an awful lot of testing and paperwork. Here is the Arizona page about the program: https://agriculture.az.gov/animals/...ice/national-poultry-improvement-plan-arizona
