Hi all!
Hopefully this is the right place to post this.
I've recently decided to venture into the world of rare breed chickens, but I have a few questions about raising and selling them for profit. Hopefully someone out there can help!
I've read that in Wisconsin it is no longer necessary to be NPIP certified and instead you can just apply to become a Wisconsin Tested Flock. That's all well and good but does anyone know or have experience what most feed stores require before purchasing chicks from a small breeder? Should I just focus on NPIP to cover all my bases? Is it really complicated and/or expensive to become NPIP certified?
Anyone out there know the regulations if selling to Minnesota? I live on the border so I'm thinking it would open up my customer base to be compliant with both states regulations. WHEW... Ok so more than a few questions! I'm really excited to consider breeding chickens but want to get all my ducks. (Or in this case chicks) in a row! Any other words of advice or tips are appreciated!
TIA
