So I have been poking around this Maryland Poultry swap web site and I see this:

"All poultry must EITHER be from a participating NPIP flock OR

birds can be tested for pollorum/typhoid and FREE at our testing clinic on Sunday, May 26th from 10-2. (In state birds are no longer required to test for avian influenza) Please notify me if you're planning on attending the testing clinic so that we can be prepared with enough supplies. Bring 10% of your adult breeding flock (if you have 20 adult breeders, just bring 2) UP TO TEN birds total. If you have more than a hundred adult breeders, you only have to bring 10 birds. If planning to bring chicks to the swap, please bring 10% of the breeder flock up to 10 birds to submit to testing. The testing of the parent flock will cover all juvenile offspring. "


Does anyone do this? Would I just contact a vet about testing my flock? I really want to make sure they are healthy and Happy and nothing to be concerned about. And not sure what this new addiction of chickens will turn out to be, it was just " I was fresh eggs", but if I did decide to ever "Show" a bird or anything like that, I would like my girls to all be the most healthy!! lol that make sense? lol

Testing was for in-state (MD) peeps. I had Chad come out and test mine Wednesday.

I will have BBS bantam Orps, BBS & L Bantam Ameraucanas, F1 Olive Eggers (wheaten Ameraucana x Delaware = Sexlinking OEs!), a few bantam Cochins (mostly black, I believe - trying to keep the MFs), black split chocolate LF project cockerels, maybe some of their chocolate sisters and hopefully a couple bantam chocolate Orp chicks. Current duckling count is... 32. Thirty - freaking - two pigs with wings. June 8th won't come soon enough.

BTW... June 8th isn't just the day of the swap... It's my birthday, too!
