I'm glad I found this post too, and I'm confused just like blackrabbit!
The law is very confusing to read. But, I want to sell to grocery stores and restaurants, and friends (me delivering to them, not coming to my property), what kind of paperwork / permits / licenses do I need, if any. Or just a well chilled cooler in my vehicle would be sufficient? And can you point me to the particular section of the code that says that. I only have a handful of birds, so definitely under a 100-1000 mark.
And is it a blanket law across the board, or only for chicken eggs. I want to sell guinea, turkey, quail, and / or duck eggs. I emailed the Dept of Agriculture and never got a response...
Also, do I need to check within my county too (Delaware), or is it just one law across the state? And the places I want to sell to would be in a different county (Franklin), does that make things more difficult?
And what about eggs for hatching? Will those be under a separate law or still under this one?
