I still thank you all for your questions and inquiries.

My plan is to start with 300 and build from there. I will probably be able to purchase more bators and brooding space, too after the first year. At least, that's my hope. I have taken a full year of business courses and have 10 years of poultry experience under my belt. My minimum order...

Perhaps, but there aren't many breeders here in my section of the state. Also, I will only be able to do about 300 eggs at one time, so that means I'm not really looking at large numbers of eggs from any one breeder. Unless I can get lucky and find a breeder with lots of different breeds and...

My extras will probably be included in the orders. If they are something I would want I may kep them and sell them as pullets and cockerals that are ready to lay.

Yes, my hobby and my passion and that means I will be passionate about by business, too. I may not make big bucks off this, but I may be able to make enough to get by and possibly pay the bills eventually. Not for a few years off, though.

I shouldn't need a business license since my profit margin will be respectively low for the first year. It will be what Oregon considers to be a hobby and I will be able to claim this as being self employed since it is, in essence, a farm and agriculture and not really what is considered a...

It is just a rough draft up for the critique of the questions asked, not the grammar. it contains. Anything about that portion?

Don't think so. I will only be accepting eggs from breeders that are NPIP tested and will be mareks vaccinating if people ask for it.

I have been raising poultry for 10 years now. I'm don't know everything, but most consider me to be an expert of sorts. I have been brooding over the idea of starting a hatchery. Starting small scale(300 egg incubator or two) and working up from their. Poultry is my passion and I'd love it if...
