Question about selling duck eggs in TX

[dizziedee214]

Hi everyone. I have ducks and I would like to sell their eggs once they start laying. I am unable to find information regarding the regulations for duck eggs. Everything I am finding is for chicken eggs only. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks+

My state doesn't make a distinction between chicken eggs and other poultry eggs. All must abide by the same rules.

This may be a question for your local at extension agent

Yes, I asked and never got a response, sadly. Chicken eggs are clearly regated but not waterfowl and they do make a distinction here. So I seem to be getting nowhere. I called every government agency in the state of texas and they all send me to another agency and round and round it goes.

Ugh. Try searching for farm stand sales or farmers market sales + your area of Texas.

If that fails maybe someone in the Texas area can provide info.

Sorry it's been so hard to find out what you need to do

wondering If y'all ever figured out a source for duck egg regulations in Texas

I’d contact your agricultural extension office they probably can tell you.

Try Texas A&M .I have had good luck in getting help from them on garden issues. Never tried with ducks but check their website it is huge and full of all kinds of info.

I want to sell my duck eggs in Texas and cannot seem to find any information either. These posts are from a few years ago so wondering if anyone has received any more info?

I still think A&M and the ag extension office is your best bet. Whatever county you live in should have an ag extension office. I'm in TX but I don't sell eggs. I'm not sure there are any regs. People here just sell them. you might try the state thread.
