There is no ban on sales from hatcheries via places like Tractor Supply unless you want better than hatchery stock. My best friend lives in Kentucky so I'm usually up on what's going on there. You'd avoid any issues by buying that way. There is no ban on private sales, either, but going across state lines, not sure on that one. I do not buy adult/started birds myself, but no matter what is going on in the world, you always need to be cautious when buying from anyone.KY is under a ban for Swap Meets and Trade Shows as there is an outbreak in Western KY.
I don't have my birds as yet but am hoping to find some for my small backyard coop today. Holding my breath that I get healthy pullets and they stay that way. I found a couple I'd love to have in Northern Ohio but don't think it's legal to transport them across state lines even in a personal car. Sure I could just go ahead and do it but the consequences could be devastating.
