The New Chicken Guy

[Stefan316]

Hi my name is Stefan.

I was really ready to answer the seven questions but I deiced not to because to many of the answers would be the same. Seeing I just start looking into this.

I really have no clue where to start with this. I did spend 30min on the MO agriculture site finding nothing I needed.

I am trying to find out do you need breeder license just to incubate eggs.

I don't have room to have a farm and raise chickens. Still I would enjoy hatching them and selling them.

I am trying to find out what is legal and what is not legal.

I am going to start searching and reading to find my answer here on the site.

Thanks

Welcome to BYC! There is so much to see, do, and learn here! I am not familiar with the rules regarding licenses, but perhaps someone else will know. Do you plan to sell day-old chicks?

That would be the plan. I got the idea from trying to help a friend find some Ayam Cemani. He wants to be a breeder. I looked at 15+ farm websites and they all sell hatching eggs. And almost all of them was on back order for live birds. My thinking is a service where I am getting eggs from the fancy breeder and just hatching them for people. I just cant seem to find any info about being certified. And I find it hard to believe this is an original idea. So I am guessing there are people already doing it that would know.

Hi, and welcome to BYC! So excited you joined!
Make yourself at home in this amazing community!
I unfortunately don't have much knowledge on hatching, but hopefully someone with more knowledge on the subject will be along shortly

Sorry I have no advice to offer but sooner or later someone will appear with it. Just takes time till the right folks see your post.

Its starting to come together. I found out here I need to call NPIP tomorrow. Seems I need to be with them to sell chicks in the state of MO. The catch is I don't have a flock to look at. I would only be hatching eggs from other certified farms.
