WHO/WHAT/WHY
WAC 16-59
All poultry that are going to public exhibition, including exotic, and game birds, but excluding waterfowl, doves, and pigeons must come strictly from US Pullorum-typhoid clean or equivalent flocks, as defined in the National Poultry Improvement Plan and Auxiliary Provisions, Title 9 CFR Section 145.53; or have had a negative pullorum-typhoid test within 90 days before going to public exhibition.
WHEN:
July 30, 2025
3:00-6:00 PM
This test date will also accommodate the Othello Fair a testing requirement in case that’s of interest!
WHO
Non-Exempt poultry intended for Fair exhibition that are 16wks or older on 7/30/2025 (hatched on or before April 9, 2025)
Young birds hatched in 2025 please bring Proof of hatch date (found on shipping invoice for day old chicks). Birds that require PT testing but are hatched after April 9th 2025 will be too young to test on 7/30/2025 and need to make other arrangements or consider choosing an older bird.
Poultry EXEMPT from PT Testing: Waterfowl, doves, and pigeons, *Market Turkeys, and *Market Broiler Chickens are EXEMPT from PT testing.
*Market Broiler/Fryer chickens and turkeys are exempt from testing, as they are under 16 weeks of age at the start of fair, and are terminal. Per Dr. Dobbs, WA State Veterinarian.

COST
$25/bird - CASH ONLY-Please bring exact change as making change may not be a possibility.
IMPORTANT
1) Dirty birds will be turned away, it is unhygienic to draw blood on a dirty animal.
2) Birds not in appropriate cages/crates/totes with proper bedding (ie pine shavings like are used in their coops at fair) will be sent home. (See Facebook group featured post for appropriate transport tote suggestion)
3) Please put your bird’s leg leash on before it’s removed from its crate. We will not be chasing birds all over the road and parking lot this year. (See Facebook group featured post for a simple DIY video tutorial)
RESULTS
Dr. Meirs and his staff are doing this during their clinic hours, we must be respectful of their time and help. All results from the group testing date will be collected by Kristen McCrae and will be presented to the check-in vet on fair check-in day. Kristen will notify you if your bird(s) test positive.
ALTERNATE TESTING OPTIONS
If an exhibitor cannot make this time/date OR their bird that requires PT testing will not be 16wk old by 7/30, then they will need to make other arrangements with a vet to complete this testing. Obtaining the results and submitting them upon fair check-in is a requirement for fair entry. Treatment is not possible if exhibitors wait until the last minute to get tested and if results are not available by move-in day then the bird cannot be admitted to the Fair.
-Exhibitor is responsible for submitting a scanned copy of the test results by email to Kristen McCrae at or before Fair Move-in Day 8/11/2025
*Open exhibitors realizing that the bird they intended for Fair exhibition is too young to test please contact Kristen or Jen as they may have bird options available.
