Many hens few eggs

Cool! How hard is the import process? Or since it's eggs, is it not a big deal?

 

[Rammy]

Yeah. I would be interested in doing that. Got a new incubator Im just dying to break in.

X2 - what they said! I've never looked into the process but I'm sure it's different for Ireland than the US.

I believe that to ship hatching eggs legally in US, the flock must be NPIP certified if the eggs cross state lines.

I wonder if same regs apply if shipping "eating" eggs?

 

[Rammy]

So you have to be NPIP certified to get eggs from overseas? Thats a bummer.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Or does the owner/shipper of eggs need to be the one who is NPIP certified?

Shipper.

One of the reasons that some who sell fertile hatching eggs require you to pick up. Many are small flocks & they don't want to go the inspections, etc.

makes sense

Getting eggs here from England is pretty straightforward. Getting them from the States is a giant PITA unfortunately. I did look into that briefly. I wonder how sending eggs to the States from here would work...

Ive looked online for hatching eggs. Not many varieties to choose from.
