"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[wbtexas13]

I actually bought my pekins from Tractor Supply and they all survived except some kind of predator got 2 of them. But iv been setting traps around my pens and iv caught a lot of raccoons and possums. Have you had any trouble with predators?

by some standards my hands are full but this is my whole life. I really dont mind the "chores" and im usually outside w them. You must be talking about the turkeys being so calm? Ive never met a calm duck i looked up Lakeland and your right, theyre nearby! Poults are difficult! Dont beat yourself up, the game varieties are very fragile, quail have more vitality, but theyre all tougher than most chicken breeds.

Got one of my toms, who was spose to be Thanksgivin Guest of Honor, before i got attached he got a whole full grown roo and a Bresse hen... I live in a sort of ghetto, its just outside city limits, but ill own my first home and 1/2 acre at 32 yrs old so its okay, right?

Of course. That's really good. You plan on staying around that area when you move or you planned on a different area? And im sorry to hear that. With that bb gun you can teach him not to come around lol

New to BYC. Just wondering if anyone knew about selling quail eggs in Louisiana? Do i need a game bird license to sell eating eggs and hatching eggs? Or just for eating eggs? They are Coturnix Quail.

Your fine to buy and sell yard eggs from your house. The catch is if you want to sell them to a business to sell to the public. If you want to sell meat birds that you've processed you need a permit. Now again that's a small home operation. You direct to public..
As to selling hatching eggs you don't need anything unless you want to ship then you need NPIP. The same applies to live birds and chicks. You can find all info on La. Ag center.I haven't read it in a couple of years so I may do a reread to make sure nothing has changed. Pam d

Thank you to the person who gave the info on changing the test for less than 30 birds. That was something I was worried about

Thank you very much for the information. I will look up LA ag center and read. Where would I find information on get the permit to ship and sell processed birds?
