New Hampshire - LIVE FREE or DIE

Quote:
rabbits are not regulated along with chickens for being sold there is no testing for these animals. rabbits fall into a no catagory they are not pets food or livestock ( figure that one out)
they do not have to be reported like the chickens turkeys etc.
there is no testing for water fowl.
hatching eggs have to be NPIP certified with your birds ( the eggs come from a NPIP flock) but do not have to report sales.

IRS reporting is for profit/loss schedual. not for back yard flocks unless you are making ( I believe) $500.00 per month in egg sales.

I thought it was per year.....I could be wrong.

Also in one of the above links I saw this.

437:15 Sale or Gift of Small Quantities. – Chicks, ducklings, goslings, and rabbits younger than 4 weeks of age shall not be sold or offered for sale; raffled; or offered or given as a prize, premium, or advertising device, in quantity of less than 12 birds or animals to an individual person.
Source. 1985, 72:1, eff. July 1, 1985.

The Weekly Market Bulletin yesterday came out with this.

"Poultry and livestock ‘swaps’ are a
relatively recent and proliferating development,
and also require the appropriate
license or licenses. These swaps are typically
hosted on a property where potential
buyers and sellers can come together. Any
location that acts as the host for such an
event involving poultry is required to obtain
and maintain a poultry dealer license.
When one of these organized events also
has livestock such as calves, goats,
sheep, etc. offered for sale or exchange, a
livestock dealer license must be obtained.
Similar to the distinction between a pet
shop license and a poultry dealer license,
state statute clearly requires a livestock
dealer license when particular species are
involved. In certain situations, a single
entity could hold all three licenses at the
same time. As noted above, livestock
producers are exempt from licensing when
buying or selling animals as part of their
own farm business.
For more information or to obtain any
of these licenses required for animal sales
in New Hampshire, please contact the
Division of Animal Industry at 603-271-
2404."

They made a new rule on there that you cannot post chickens on there unless they are used for meat or have been tested. I am not sure of the exact test requirements......anybody know?
