Gah! I just want to put it out there that apparently now not only is poultry premise registration required (as it always has been, at least for the past few years since I got chickens) but now you need a permit to sell poultry or eggs AND you have to be NPIP unless you only sell at auctions.

I was told at a swap meet that if your table eggs are fertile, you wouldn't need to apply for selling them. Another reason to keep a rooster if you can.
wonder if that has changed...

Whether you're selling table eggs or hatching eggs you need a permit

ETA To sell eating eggs you need a permit and the eggs must be graded and refrigerated. To sell hatching eggs you need a different permit (the same one as for live poultry) and be NPIP
