interested in starting to breed and sell Svart Hona chicks!

[Tramel]

Im interesting in breeding and selling Svart Hona eggs/baby chicks. I'm curious how many people would be interested and if the demand is high etc. Anyone wanna help me get the details?

You can only sell chicks over state lines if you're npip certified, where are you getting your stock?
Most birds go through fads just like anything else, so if they seem to be a hot commodity now, by the time you get you stock up to par, they could be out of fashion.

I already have a few hens and a rooster so I'll be breeding from them. And NPIP isn't the hardest thing in the world right? Svart honas seem to still be a breed that Is quite popular plus they are still super good layers.

It shouldn't but I'm not sure how rigorous it is.
Are your birds good quality?
Your are may require some permits so I'd check that

I would love to see your flock. I have admired svart honas for a while, but have never had them.

Look up Black Feather Farm. I think that's what it's called. She breeds and sells them. She may be able to give you some pointers. I saw she was featured in a chicken magazine somewhere.

Fashion doesn't matter if you have birds you love.

NPIP requirements vary from state to state, but here in Ohio, it can be accomplished in a single visit from a poultry inspector who draws a tiny bit of blood from a percentage of your birds. Easy peasy and not particularly expensive.

What I'm saying is, getting into a certain breed to sell, as op was, that good stock will always sell.
but if anyone is getting into for easy money or just to sell to meet the latest demand, as many do, they'll not do well.
