What does LA test for?  

Hi Sandy,

Good luck!  I had provided this info to Brandy previously.  FWIW - I would like to say thank you for checking out what is necessary to export to Virginia.  I am happy to provide what help I can since I am familiar with the program.  My flock is NPIP/AI certified and I am also a certfied NPIP tester.

Yep - pullorum/typhoid only. You are very fortunate. Louisiana does not even allow any layman to become a certified tester.

Folks, take it here,

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/826325/chat-thread-for-the-new-crazy-24-hour-auction

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.

Sorry - I didn't read all the way through before I posted!

No biggie, but when we have auctions listed, it get cluttered. We don't mind a bit of conversation.

Pullorum

I find it really interesting that they only test for Pullorum. I was under the impression that the NPIP program was started to monitor AI on a national level.

@Haplessrunner, do you know the history behind how the NPIP program started and why?

Oops
Just read notes about moving comments to the chat forum. I reposted my response there.

Which there happen to be a few open right now. @Lark Rise just quoted one of her own with no activity, that has already been covered up again.

Cuckoo Orpington Project
I have an English Orpington Cuckoo Orpington Rooster, in with 4 Black English Orpington hens and a Lavender 50% English Orpington hen.

Basque Euskal Oiloa
We have owned Basque since 2011, The birds you see in the photo are the 3rd generation raised on our farm. Our birds come from James Meeks of Skyline Poultry. We had our first ever 100% hatch rate from shipped eggs which to me is a great indication of a lines health and vigor.

Since we acquired the birds, we have been selectively breeding for correctness. We hatched over 100 Basque in 2013 and chose the 10 we are using as breeders this year. All of our breeders have yellow legs and good coloring. Our breeding goals include breeding birds with broader chests and wider backs.

Basque are an ideal breed for both breeders and backyard enthusiasts. For starter, Basque eggs seem to ship and hatch better than many breeds. The egg shell quality is excellent. Basque have friendly calm temperaments and the hens lay large brown eggs and are non-broody. Basque are not auto-sexing, but by 3-4 weeks you can begin to discern the boys from the girls based on body color.

Bresse
We acquired 12 eggs and hatched 10 birds in May 2013. The breeder (Chiquita) we purchased our eggs from got her breeding stock from Green Fire Farms. Of the 10 eggs that hatched, we ended up with 7 girls and 3 boys. We chose the biggest and most robust 4 pullets and 2 cockerels as our breeders.

I had heard Bresse were indifferent with people, but that has not been my experience. I find them friendly and curious. I have limited experience with the Bresse, but so far I have been very happy with them.

Bresse
Our Bresse are young in these photos. I need to get some updated photos. Sorry.



Cuckoo Orpington



Sulmtaler
Our bloodlines include birds imported by Greenfire Farm and Widget Creek farm. We have two roosters and 8 hens in our breeding pens. Sulmtalers are renown for the excellent meat qualities. I like them because they are adorable. Sulmtalers can be a bit shy but once they know and trust you they are very friendly and always under foot looking for treats.

If sellers are super concerned about their egg sales, they ALWAYS have the option to use the BST system or ebay). We attempt to provide a different option.

My point is, it was starting to get a little too cluttered with chatter, and we were losing focus of the thread's purpose.
