Alabama - they do a sampling of your pens up to 30 birds.

Is there are minimum of birds that you have to have before being tested?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I would imagine you could get it done even if you only have one bird. The goal is to find if any birds with pullorum/typhoid are present.

That's what I was hoping for.

What state is that? In MO, they have to test every bird on the property over 4 months of age.

Do they charge you for testing every bird?

Here in Alabama I only pay 5.00 lab fee and 5.00 for my permit.

Our laws have recently changed to reflect the 30 bird sample. Just a few years ago (before poultry keeping became popular) it was 100% of your flock and you had to bring the flock to them. Can you imagine that U-HAUL rental return?

Geez what a mess! I guess they thought there are not that many people with chickens!!! hahahahhhaha

It's all free if you do the basic tests. If you want more tests done there is a small fee.

Anybody have contact info for alabama npip? Also how do they test? Blood, feather plucking or what?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

They pull blood from the wing and do a couple swabs from each bird. I can give you much more information next Tuesday.
