If you are going to be over here, bring them. I personally do not need ducks, but there will be many people there.

BAD NEWS !!! I just heard from Dept of Aggriculture. They said in order to sell poultry in Ga, you must have a license. If is an official sale the license is with the organizer. I know this is disappointing. Make sure you know this is a SWAP and not a Sale. What you do with your birds after is your business.

Note to self. Don't rely on someone's opinion or knowledge. Check out all facts first.

I thought this was a swap meet...not selling poultry. Doesn't that make a difference?

Yes, it is a swap. I just want to let people know of the law in case they wanted to sell. I will change the post. Thanks

 

[georgiagail]

Yes; it is both a swap and an educational program for those interested in learning more about the care of poultry.
