We all like our eggs but what happened when we have more than we can eat? Well we want to sell them of course so! Selling eggs supplements cost of caring for our birds. You may want to get out there right away and start selling right? Well what if I told you that in the United States that there are laws and regulations reguarding the sale of eggs? Each state maintains regulations separate to the minimum FDA regulations and I have taken the liberty of posting this here below!
