I looked it up and for my county I'd need a permit to sell eggs, I think I'll just continue making my rounds to the neighbors and give them free eggs. They just started laying so they're small either way

If they keep laying like they are, I'll have 7 eggs per day!

That's so true, we have neighbors who keep their dogs outside all the time they're probably 6 months old - even left them outside during the hurricane! They are noisier than my chickens, and whenever they do the egg song, my dog goes crazy like she thinks something may be wrong with them lol
I also have a black sex link, sounds like a smoker - she has a raspy but loud voice

I had them brooding in the living room in March/early April, once they started getting bigger, it was time for the garage. Even though they were in the garage for a few more months of brooding then slept in there before they had a coop to go into, it's been kept up well and you would have never guessed they lived in there at one point. My husband and I are neat freaks (my husband worse than me) so I can understand the frustration of finding chicken-related things on places you keep cleaning!

Thankfully, I don't have a quilt room LOL

I did have a 68 Chevelle since I was 17, that we recently sold, both of us were greasy from it at one time or another

Yes, good point! He said he's never going to build a coop ever again, and he would rather buy one lol so problem solved!! LOL
We ended up talking about it, I didn't ask him, he suggested that we buy a coop with wheels and put them in the garage during dark hours of winter, that way they can have an extended light to keep laying their delicious eggs he enjoys!

EGGcellent compromise..... hee hee couldnt resist

My thoughts are you need to communicate with your husband. Ask, also ask if he has any better ideas. If you handle it right he would appreciate your needing his advise and his help. ask, don't be afraid to let him know you need him.

I find it hard to believe you would want to have the odor in your garage all the time. I will be very hard to remove once it's established. But I agree, when you allow them to roost on your curtain rods, then the garage is their home. Still I don't understand the problem with the noise. Mine aren't noisy at all. The rooster's not even noisy. My neighbor's two Boston terriers are noisier than the rooster.

We've had our chickens in our garage for a few months now, starting when they were peeps. Now they're almost full grown and free range during the day. We had a baby almost 3 months ago and are just barely getting around to building a coop soon.

There's dust EVERYWHERE, and the stink can get bad. It's going to take some serious cleaning to get the concrete close to acceptable again where their pen is. I highly recommend against it.

This is the North Carolina Egg Law:

§ 106‑245.15. Designation of grade and class on containers required; conformity with designation; exemption.
No person shall market to consumers, institutional consumers or retailers or expose for that purpose any eggs unless there is clearly designated therewith on the container the grade and size or weight class established in accordance with the provisions of this Article and such eggs shall conform to the designated grade and size or weight class (except when sold on contract to a United States governmental agency); provided, however, a producer marketing eggs of his own production shall be exempt from this section when such marketing occurs on the premises where the eggs are produced, processed, or when ungraded sales do not exceed 30 dozen per week. (1955, c. 213, s. 7; 1965, c. 1138, s. 1; 1973, c. 739, s. 1.)

So if you sell on your own property directly to consumers, you do not need a license. Georgia is the same way.

What are the chicken ordinances where you live?
