OK, so I just candled our latest batch and I am THRILLED!!! We put 7 of our own BLRW and 5 of our own OEGB Crele eggs in, and all 12 are developing! We are only on day 6. I also have two other batches of BLRW eggs in from two different breeders and I think 4 from each are developing, and only 1 lavender cochin bantam egg. Quite a few were still hard to tell, but that is the count for the FOR SURE eggs!!!! I think my new hygrometers are doing their job!!!

I'll have to post pics of our 3 week old little chicks. I haven't downloaded them from the camera yet!

no, that is a choice you can make...it is expensive...so most do not.
And your birds can get sick at any given moment spread from wild birds, so saying you are NPIP involves testing, inspection of the premisis..more testing, and horrible expense.
I am not going to do it.
I am going to have a few birds blood drawn to check for MG... and carry on with as healthy stock as I can
Anyone can sell just about anything, as long as it is stated as such.

I'm curious about NPIP status as well, and is it worth getting? What is the perks of being NPIP vs not... etc

In Kansas to sell eggs legally and to go to some swap meets you need to be NPIP tested. The cert is good for a year but any wild bird can give your birds what thy test for with in the year. The tester that tested my birds said it was a joke.

it is a joke here as well
 
Chickielady - I went by your house today.

We went through Raymond to pick up a Great Dane pup in a neat-named city I never knew existed. . . Skamokawa.

Oh, and I've got 6 W/BW eggs left, due to hatch this Thursday!! Let's hope I have a few girls and at least one boy. Beside them I also have a couple BBS Ameraucanas.

That's a mottled Cochin.

God love ya, I do not know how you do it but this woman can tell what a baby chick is, even crossed with another breed...and probably do it with one eye closed....
