To set this straight.... it is very much legal in Alabama to sell your poultry eggs from your home for consumption, and with certain guidelines you may sell at Farmer's Markets.

From the website of the Alabama Farmer's Market Authority:

http://www.fma.alabama.gov/PDFs_NEW/Shell_Eggs.pdf

Yes, the gentlemen from the Authority do come to each Market several times a year to inspect, but they are always excited to see how well the eggs as a farmer's product sells to the public. Eggs are a very, VERY sought after product from consumers. I have never brought eggs home from a day at the Market, in fact, selling out within the first hour. Simply display a few cartons and have the others cooling in a cooler to replinish your display.

Thanks for setting me straight!

Good to know!
 
Is there anyone else out there that was kinda "thrown" into this chicken lifestyle? I had been looking at chickens and checking out this site as well as others. Just kinda pondering. When visiting Collinsville, I spotted a chicken in the middle of the road. She had fallen off of a poultry truck. I figured she would move when my car got near her, but she just sat there. So I backed up and said to my father in law, " Dad, reach out there and grab that chicken."

We bathed her and named her Precious Lady. I'm glad I only found 1, since she probably eats more than her share of food. She should be about 6 months now, and this week finally started laying. We got 3 eggs to our excitement! She has taught us alot about chickens. One valuable thing we have learned is that the lump on their chest is NOT a tumor!

Yeah, we were real "chicken goobers". Which is a step up from "chicken ignorant". And we learned that it's not that "tumor" that makes her lay on her side with her belly to the sun. Heehee.

I knew that someone could love their chicken, but I had no idea that someone could be loved BY their chicken. I was sitting on the front step while she foraged in the yard, and I told her I was ready to go in because I was cold. She mulled around and came over to me and flew up into my lap. I sat with her for awhile, then told her again I was ready to go inside. I began to get up thinking she would fly down, but she went to my arm instead. So I'm thinking, Ok... So as I turned to go up with her on my arm, she began to go up to my shoulder. Then she began to slide down my back!! By the time I got up to the porch, I was bent over and she was hanging on to the top of my skirt with wings flapping wildly trying to hang on! I know that if any cars had come by it looked like I was being attacked by some wild bird!

(Since no one in my neighborhood has chickens.) Gotta love her!

So what do you do when you have been thrust into this lifestyle?
We bought 4 more baby chicks to add to our "flock".

Anyone else experience a "chicken on your butt"?

Hello Everyone, and Good Day in Alabama. I'am in Oneonta, Alabama. There's got to be someone out there that has some, SPLASH, or BLUE, or Lavender Ameraucana Chick's, ( not Easter Egger's ), or even some fertile Eggs. I mean the real AMERAUCANA CHICKEN. Thats almost impossible to get here. If you get any from a Hatchery, or a Co-Op, or Tractor Supply, there Easter Eggers, there beautiful, I have 8 of them, but I looking for the real Ameraucana. Chicks being better, I can mix them in with my 4 day old Black Copper Maran's. I'am new at the Chicken thing, and its hard to mix older ones with younger ones. I had 5 to be born on Thanksgiving, there now almost 3 months old, and almost as big as the older ones, I have tried 8 times to mix them in with the older girls, and everytime the older girls try to KILL them, I give up. ( HELP ). And my husband said he is not building another coop. Right now I have 6 Rhode Island Reds, 6 Bluff Orpingtons, 6 Barred Rocks, 8 Easter Eggers, 2 Easter Egger Rooster's, 5 Easter Egger Babies, now 3 months old, and 17 , 4 day old Black copper Marans, then there's the Goat's, 9 Nigerian Dwarf Milking Goats, in which two of them are babies, I'am tired. I hope someone outthere has some. Thank you Sharon.
