With all that has happened to the eggs don't give up till the 24th day. Then if you would you might open an egg to see what went wrong.

Sometimes I do a final test to see if there's anything alive in an egg by floating it in a pan of warm water. Be careful not to breathe on it or you will get a false reading. If there's anything alive, it will wiggle when it starts to get cold.

So what does that do to all those eggs being sold for human consumption at the various auctions around this area?

I'm reading it as "your own eggs from your own flock". I don't see that it restricts where you sell it.

Most of the folks I know who sell eggs are transporting their eggs to the customer, at work or church or whatever.

Isn't the "first step" acknowleging the addiction? Unfortunately, that seems to be the only step I am able to take.

Buster here is another copmpletely different thing here

http://www.oda.state.ok.us/food/foodsafety_sub1.pdf


Here is the sub-part I was refering to in the Ok law that is found on OSCN.

http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=105234

. Oklahoma producers of eggs selling ungraded eggs from their own flock production are exempt from this subarticle. Nothing in this subarticle shall prohibit the sale of eggs produced on the farm and sold direct to the consumer. Eggs sold under this section shall be produced by hens maintained on the farm from which the eggs are sold.

B. A producer may sell graded eggs if in compliance with this subarticle


And here is where that all came from, it is about halfway down the page under "eggs".

Thanks Doc, but that that isn't necessary. Y'all are not WalMart and I don't know if it was the chicks or the way that I brooded them. I didn't pay much per chick and there were only 6 - but I didn't buy any more when he brought some to Blanchard the following week either. You are very thoughtful to offer however and I really appreciate that more than you can imagine.

That is helpful information to know. Thanks for sharing!

Technically, the folks taking the eggs from their farm and selling them to friends/co-workers/church members/auctions... aren't following the rules to the letter, at least not how I interpreted it (selling from the farm is okay and doesn't require a license, anywheres else requires a license & following the regulations of the egg law).

Maybe the auction folks could give us some info about it?

Many of these laws have never been challanged in court so there will never be a clear way to define what they mean. So even at the top, with people that are supposed to know, there will be a different interpitation with every one you ask.

I guess it is what your definition of is, is.

And here is another sticky point called "point of sale" Let's say that I called you on the phone and ordered eggs, the point of sale would be my house and subject to the rules and taxes of my location. Yet if I went to your place and did the order the point of sale would be your location.
