Lose the hat. You won't blind the interviewer! Same as 4312. Employers want on time, hardworking, self starters. Other personal things can be easy to get along with or easy going, love people, make friends easily. You are definately creative!

My kids want to enter their ducks and chickens in the fair this year. Anyone know where we would go for a health certificate in Spokane?

My 18 yo DS just went for an interview at Wal*Mart...I told him...over dress to a small degree. Slacks, nice polo. Course he will never wear this at Wal*Mart...but you have to "impress" them I guess. It is stupid. But, unfortunately, the person interviewing you probably has never welded....they have only sat behind the desk.

If you live in WA you shouldn't need a health certificate. Where did you get the birds from originally.

Here are the entry rules:

Washington State Veterinarian’s Regulations
All out-of-state poultry entering Washington State for EXHIBITION purposes must be accompanied by a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate)
within 30 days of shipment. All chickens and game birds entering Washington State for exhibition must also originate from an NPIP participant flock which have
met pullorum-typhoid and avian influenza classification requirements or be tested negative for pullorum-typhoid and avian influenza within 30 days of shipment. All
waterfowl entering Washington State for exhibition must originate from an NPIP participant flock that has met Avian Influenza classification requirements or has
tested negative for Avian Influenza within 30 days of shipment. All turkeys entering Washington State for exhibition must originate from an NPIP participant flock
that has met Pullorum-Typhoid, Avian Influenza, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae classification requirements or has tested negative for
Pullorum-Typhoid, Avian Influenza, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae within 30 days of shipment. No animal from a quarantined area or
premises may be permitted to enter the Fair. The Out-of-State exhibitor’s permit number for the 2011 Fair is 91-WA5717. Your veterinarian need not call the
Washington State Department of Agriculture if they use this permit number on health certificates. A new number will be issued each year.
All in-state poultry going to exhibit must test negative for Salmonella Pullorum-Typhoid (p-T). This rule applies to chickens, exotic fowl, and game birds;
but excludes waterfowl, doves, and pigeons. Exhibitors that meet one of the two options below do not need to have their birds P-T tested prior to exhibit:
1. The exhibitor is a participant in the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP); or
2. Within the past twelve months, the show birds were bought from NIPI participants, hatcheries, or feed stores.
Exhibitors that do not meet the criteria above must test negative for P-T within 90 days of going to exhibit. Exhibitors can meet the requirements using
options below:
1. A veterinarian, vet tech or trained personnel can draw ½ cc of blood from each bird and send the samples to the WSU Avian Health and Food
Safety Laboratory in Puyallup; or
2. A WSDA field veterinarian can perform P-T testing at the fair (applicable fee will apply). If you are interested in this service, please contact Julie
Walker at [email protected].
The Fair Veterinarian MUST AND WILL reject any animal with infectious or a contagious diseases or ectoparasites including, but not limited to, ringworm, warts,
pinkeye, strangles, contagious ecthyma, scabies, lice, mites, ticks and fleas. Birds arriving sick or taken sick in the showroom will be isolated and removed from
the showroom. Proper procedure, instruction for removal, and consent for same must be obtained from the Superintendent. The Fair veterinarian’s professional
decision as to the health status of an animal will be final and be upheld by Fair Management. Exhibitors needing veterinary services will call their own veterinarian
at their own expense.

the Favorelle and Brabanter were from a small family owned feed store, the owners breed them, in Spanaway(I'm in Spokane). The buff Orpington just from a feed store here, they don't want to enter her. The ducks from a feed store here.
I just read more and it's out of state birds that need a health certificate. We need Salmonella Pullorum-Typhoid testing. Still not sure where to get that.

I just saw the list of the APA recognized breeds and Brabanters aren't on it. So guessing Tiki probably can't be entered.​
