Houston Chicken Swap Meet, Lets Start One!

Where do you get the TAHC permit and do you need to get the typhoid test done before you get the TAHC permit?

This is the page for the TAHC's poultry rules- http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/animal_health/poultry_registration.html

Yes you have to have the P/T test done before they arrive. Your tester is Dan Dykes in Brenham- 979-450-5418. The P/T test is free but the TAHC permit is $35-$600 depending on how many birds you have.

If you take your birds "off primise" with the intent to sell or trade you must have a permit. You can sell or trade all you want at your property with out a TAHC permit but you still must have your birds tested for P/T, which is free.
If you have a bunch of birds for your own use then you can do nothing and be OK.

You may not like all this but it is the law and if you get caught ( and you will) you give the whole Swap/ Trade a black eye.

It's not like they'll come and arrest you because they won't and I will not get one and will trade with people if I want.

Obviously you have never been to a trade day. You want to break the law I guess that is your business.

I have been to a trade day so if you have nothing to say then don't bother posting on my thread.

I am going to get it just for the purpose of selling. Alot of people will ask you about the typhoid test. But hopefully it will not be a whole lot for it.
