Looks like I'll be getting my license.

It isn't much, and now that friends are asking to purchase birds I'm spending the $72 and licensing up. I should recoup that with the first batch of birds in the incubator.

In Washington State, you can raise all the birds you want, and you can hunt them (released for hunting) without a license on your property, of a friend's property. Once you decide to sell them to another party, you need a license to do so. It entails a fee, an inspection of your facilities, and that is about it, other than some basic record keeping. Had my Fedral Firearms License for 8 years, and the record keeping is similar to that. Sold how many birds of what type to whom, etc. I'm sure nobody would ever ask for a license if I decided to sell a few birds, but why chance it, when the process is simple, inexpensive, and it avoids a lot of issues.

Should have the paperwork in hand about the time the first pheasants hatch.

Yes in Texas it is very similar Your facillities have to be inspected annually with a fee and you have to have your TVMDL which is the Texas equivilent to the NPIP

OH! Thank you for this post. I have recently put quail and pheasant eggs in the incubator to see how they will do. I have had several friends mention that they would be interested in buying a few for dinner. I didn't think that there would be any harm done. Now you have me wondering if there is a law for Georgia. Does anyone know how I would find out?

Contact your state's department of natural resources. Here in Illinois you are required to have a permit to even have any for your own use. It's just a matter of applying online, paying the fee and printing it out ($10 to own or $20 if you're going to sell any).
