New California H5N1 Permit Requirements

I just found this flier online and it has me concerned for my 2025 chick order (I live in CA). Has anyone else seen this?
I order from Meyer Hatchery (Polk, Ohio) which is an NPIP certified hatchery, but the chicks will likely pass through one or more of the post offices in the designated "control zones" to get to me. I'm thinking it might be best to cancel my order

"Out-of-state HPAI Control Area restrictions ONLY apply if the origin of the movement is in a USDA/State HPAI Control Area OR if the origin premises is suspected of having HPAI."

Quote from the flyer, my bolding/underlining. Polk County, OH, is not on their list of control area counties. It doesn't mean it won't be added by the time your order is shipped, though.

You could just call Meyer and ask them. They would need to be up on all the rules. I suspect it will be fine, it's not like they are traveling the highway in semi open trucks like meat birds do.

I recently received an order from Meyer and have another order placed. If it were an issue I’m sure they would let me know. I live in the Central Valley area and no issues so far getting my order from them.

I too have a Meyers order for April, I have lined up local hatching eggs just in case things change by then. SoCal here
