No you just take your birds to the auction and drop them off. The check will arrive Tuesday or Wednesday. You need a license if you sell your eggs off or your farm, say at a farmers market or to a store. But if you sell them direct like to family and neighbors, or someone that comes to your farm there is no license requirement.
Going to the auction however is way too much fun. I didn't know what I was missing until I went.
So do "hatching eggs" count as selling eggs? sorry, just trying to figure it all out
At the auction they are just called fertile eggs rather than hatching eggs. Some people prefer to eat fertile eggs. Once again though there is no need to license to auction off your eggs or birds.
To sell on a auction web site I don't think that there are any licensing requirements. I have not seen any auctions that state that they are licensed to sell, including egg auctions located in the State of Washington. They just haven't caught up to us yet. So my theory is Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up. SSS!
I did get a license to sell eggs off of the farm. It cost me 75.00 to do that. It wasn't very hard to do because I already had a business license with the State.
