New York State Six Chicken Law?

[NorTracNY]

I'm guessing you mean Nature Berry Farms. They are just around the corner from me. If not, you may want to look them up.
Or Country Max stores are now accepting orders. You need to pay the $2.50X6, but they will let you take less. Just bring a heating pad with you when you pick them up and they'll be fine.

yes - Nature Berry Farms it is! They seem to have a nice variety of birds and I like the idea of picking out chicks/young without the shipping.

I was shocked when my local feed store told me this also. I only wanted four chicks, but I ended up getting six any ways, soon to be eight when my son get his chicks from ex-FIL.

I live in the Hornell area, I was looking into possibly getting more, and more than willing to share an order.

I'm in NY and heard the 6 chick law from a seller. However, I looked up the state laws and can't see this anywhere.Section 15A deals with sales of baby chicks.
Baby chicks are those less than six weeks old. There is no mention of a minimum number of chicks:

So does this law really exist?

You might need to check the department of agriculture for the state of New York.

Frequently what gets quoted as being the law turns out to be a rule promulgated under the law, in New York for chicken sales that power rest with the Department of Agriculture.

The only place that enforces the 6 chick law here is Tractor Supply. If you buy from a private breeder or Craigslist, they do not push the issue

I've seen this law enforced at TSC as well as my local feed store. Is this also enforceable via online hatchery purchases?

We're not looking to expand the flock now but in the future we might use My Pet Chicken to get a few chicks....

I live in new hampshire and the minumim purchase is 12 but some places buck the system and will sell less but not the big chain stores like tractor supply

It was the same here in South Carolina... I only purchased a few chicks at TSC... by my second trip to the chick bins, they had stopped enforcing it...
