The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

You should consider registering to ship to Virginia.  Virginia only requires you to be NPIP, complete a Virginia form that is downloadable, and then get your State NPIP Representative to confirm your NPIP status and mail the form back to the Virginia State Vet.  Very simple, a little hassle, but hardly difficult to accomplish.  Then you will be registered to export to Virginia and have expanded your market with very little real investment (just your time and some postage).

So sorry to say that I have been corresponding with a representative from VA's Dept of Agriculture and it isn't quite so easy for all states. Those of us who are LA NPIP cannot be certified to ship to Virginia UNLESS we pay to be independently monitored for AI. Louisiana does not test for AI. I have about 100 birds and would have to pay LSU come out 4 times per year to test in order to be certified. The cost would be nearly $500 per quarter for me. That is quite a tremendous expense for a small breeder. I wish all the states would implement comparable regulations for testing.

That is shame that Lousiana makes it so difficult to get your AI certification. I certainly agree that $500 per quarter is prohibitive (and outrageous!).

In Virginia, you have a choice. You can pay for a representative to come out and test twice per year. Or you can ship 30 eggs to the State Vet laboratory twice per year to have them tested at NO CHARGE. The results are then mailed and e-mailed back to you. I have shipped eggs to the State Vet for two years and have never had to pay for any results.

I have really been working at finding an alternative. The LA NPIP rep said we don't get funding for additional testing. If anyone in LA has found a more feasible option, please PM me. I would love to be able to ship to all states.

Folks, take it here,

That said, I am NPIP in my own state, But let's say, it is not hard to ship to Va. Probably wouldn't put "Hatching eggs" all over the box though.

I am also a tester for New Mexico.
