permit to sell & ship chicks required..

[chicky gal1]

is one required? our local post office stated that to ship day olds (priority mail) a permit is required? no permit for express mail though.. I just want to be sure we are doing this correctly!!

thanks for your help!!!

i called the po today and they had me to call the district expedited services office and was told i had to ship them express mail in a bio box.

Thats only for older birds. Day olds are different.

[chicky gal1]

so is a permit required?

do you need a license to sell baby chicks? I'm not looking at starting a business here by any means, just finding home for extra hatches..

As far as I know a permit is not required. If you ship any birds over a day old you have to ship them express mail with a bio safe box however. You can not ship anything over 1 day old in anything other then that so you cant ship them priority mail. If thats what your asking.

The requirements are different for each state. In Texas if we are shipping within the state we don't need a permit to ship them. But if we are going out of state we must be NPIP certified. If we want to sell locally we can have people come to our property to buy but we can not take them off the property to sell (like to a flea market or such)....

So, each state is different. Some are more strigent than others....
