I agree, but do think OP decided to work on the birds themselves. I do apologize for sort of hijacking your thread @NagemTX. Would be interested to see what you end up with for your Rosecombs. It was an entertaining discussion, nonetheless! :D

Participants in the program are likely (I'm assuming) required to report and keep records of intrastate sales regardless of whether or not the state they reside in requires sales come from an NPIP certified flock. Failure to do so would eliminate the traceability aspect of the program, which is...
