Shipping Eggs to Oklahoma. Not npip. Ok? Or not?

[jaudon77]

Not a life and death emergency but I want to buy shipped hatching eggs. The auction ends in an hour. They are from someone in California who is NOT npip.

I live in Oklahoma. Has anyone bought hatching eggs and had them shipped to Oklahoma before? Do they have to be from an npip? I don't want to spend a nice chunk of change and never get any eggs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I highlighted the law pertaining to shipped eggs. This is the link I found it: http://www.guineafowl.com/GeneralStore/regulations.htm


Oklahoma

or
(2) Have passed a negative agglutination test for reportable salmonella groups. Turkeys, in
addition, shall have passed an M. Gallisepticum test.
