Btw in my state an egg license is only $15 the exempt kind which allows you to sell eggs for consumtion. At farmers market etc or from your home. There is an limit but it it over 1000 dozen a year.

I am in Florida. We have "sell-at-the-gate" laws that allow legal sale of a small number of eggs from your home, a lot of people will stop if they see a sign. A problem with this in my case is zoning laws. I am zoned residential agricultural, just one step away from agricultural zoning. I'm technically allowed to have livestock for personal use but not for resale, though this law is rarely enforced I don't want a big red flag in front of my house if an inspector drives by, or some nasty neighbor gets a bug up his *** and reports me.

You can always get agricultural land to run your business on, but agricultural land can't be subdivided into smaller lots. So you gotta go big or go home. I can keep over a hundred birds on a single acre, no need for 10 acre ag lots. Especially if you're small time.
