I live in GA. Laws are a candeling license to transport off farm, business license to sell at Farmers market. State/federal inspections to sell to stores/restaurants. We don't eat that many eggs... If I lowered the price significantly (to local chicken egg prices) I could probably sell them...
I have 10 buff ducks giving me an average of 6.5 eggs per day. I have about 6 dozen eggs at this point and have sold an additional 2 dozen and given another 2 dozen away. I don't know how to get rid of the excess, and I just want to get some help with the feed bill when I sell them.

I'm in GA so snow loads are a joke. Rain loads shouldnt be sufficient to cause much issue. The courragated plastic on the roof can be raised to give it some more slope i guess.

Was considering the following design for my 9 chickens.
Based off of ease of build (using 4'x8' sheets of Composite Siding and treated 4"x4"s).
open bottom using deep litter method and possibly corrugated plastic for the roof.
