Npip certified comes from your state dept.

They might do testing at your fair, but that isn't being certified. That just means those particular birds were tested

By getting certified you can sell chicks and eggs. So if you looking for a little bit of side hustle it might not be a bad idea

Ok. I just want to ship eggs once and see how it goes. I know Mom will not be ecstatic in the first place do she will probably not want to do anything special. I will message the person and tell them deals off.

It is my understanding that if you ship without NPIP cert, you run the risk of the receiving state throwing out the eggs, that’s it. From what I’ve read there has never been any kind of penalty exercised, but technically I think you could be fined depending on the state. If you were to mail someone eggs as a birthday gift for example, a one time thing, I would let them know the risks of it getting discarded upon entry into the state, and then ship without labeling it as eggs and take your chances with X-ray.

I did receive eggs from an NPIP shipper, and they were only labeled as fragile and nothing else noted on the box, and they hatched just fine. I also have a friend who received unlabeled hatching eggs as a one off birthday gift, and they were fine too.

I think that is what I will do. My grandma owns an Ebay store where the post office is used to taking in fragile items from us everyday. They will never notice....

Also maybe give a vague return address like a large apartment building with no apt #.

How will they know that it is eggs without looking?
