North Carolina, pm near the end of the winter, well more like mid-winter in PA. I normally start collecting hatching eggs Feb.Where are you located? I would like to hatch some next spring.
. Correct me if I am wrong but in most states you need to be NPIP certified to legally sell poultry & hatching eggs. Just FYINo ma'am, Just a small backyard breeder. Was NPIP a few years back but haven't brought in any new blood since
Dee, I have been selling eggs for three years now on BYC. I am NPIP, but I have never been asked by any of the buyers if I was. It seems to be a non-issue. I am not saying this is good or bad. Just the way it is.. Correct me if I am wrong but in most states you need to be NPIP certified to legally sell poultry & hatching eggs. Just FYI
I know for my state you don't have to be for in-state sales. To ship in or out (live birds only for shipping out, not applicable to eggs unless I missed something) they're supposed to be, but I also have never seen it enforced.. Correct me if I am wrong but in most states you need to be NPIP certified to legally sell poultry & hatching eggs. Just FYI
Many many states do NOT require NPIP for selling poultry or eggs "within the state" - two that come to mind offhand are Ohio and Texas (my guess would be interstate sales between these same "minimal NPIP regulated states" would probably also not cause any legal problems - I'm guessing if people in Ohio don't require NPIP to sell chickens and people in Texas likewise don't require NPIP to sell chickens then if someone in Ohio sells and ships a chicken to someone in Texas does it make a sound - I doubt it).

For us, the Brahma personality is their best trait. They are the friendliest of our flock and the first to run for attention. The scary part is when they all want attention at the same time!After all the horror stories I have heard of people taking prized birds to shows and coming back sick - the only showing I plan to be doing with my chickens is on these forums (much safer).
I am a fan of Langshans and Jerseys (just not a fan of the black color so much) and am thinking about getting into additional feather footed types (similar to the Langshans) such as Brahma or Cochin and I'm weighing their qualities.
So overall how do you all like the Brahma breeds? What is the most wonderful thing about them? Hardiness? Growth rate/size? Personality? Flavor? Quiet? Good foraging skills?
