Question on shipping eggs.

[RAREROO]

Hi

Is a permit or certification required to ship eggs out of state? I am not NPIP certified yet as most of my breeding stock for next spring are still young, but I plan to by Jan. I emailed the dept. of ag and they said I don't need one for instate shipping, And I have a friend that has shipped eggs to several other states without a permit or any problems. So I have been thinking about shipping some of my Speckled Sussex and Barred Rock eggs since I am slowing down on hatching for the year and I wanted to know if I can ship out of state or just instate until I get certified. So if any of you ship eggs and have any info, please let me know.

As I understand it you are supposed to be N.P.I.P. certified to ship out of state. A lot of people are not. However one person told me they think that the government is going to crack down on that soon.

I think I may only try to ship within Ga. to begin with. If any of you ship eggs I would like to know how you ckage and ship too.
