YO GEORGIANS! :)

Here are some pictures of the silkies I am trying to rehome:
This first one is the Splash--I do not know whether it is a male or female.

This is the Cuckoo but as you can see it turned out very light but it does have barring and I tried to get a picture of it in the next picture but not sure you can make it out.

This is the White Roo I would like to rehome. He is actually the best of the bunch that I hatched out but his comb is redder than I would like it and he is not bearded which I want.

This little guy is out of a Partridge and a Buff parent--not mine, he is from eggs I purchased. I really do not know for sure it is a male but it is too smutty in color for me so I would like to find it a home.

These are the only 4 we are rehoming at this time. Please PM me if you are interested.
 
For the Georgialina Chickenstock:


BAD NEWS !!! I just heard from Dept of Aggriculture. They said in order to sell poultry in Ga, you must have a license. If is an official sale the license is with the organizer. I know this is disappointing. Make sure you know this is a SWAP and not a Sale. What you do with your birds after is your business.

For a Sale, the organizer needs the license. Technically you need a license to sell from home, too, but how can they regulate that? For our ChickenStock, it is a Swap and Educational event. By law, you cannot sell at the swap. Just sayin'... Your business is your business.

I did not know you needed a license to sell birds. Is it possible that the license they're talking about is the one mentioned in the Farmer's and Consumer's Market Bulletin? (published by the GA Dept of Agriculture, for any of you who aren't subscribed to it) Under the "Poultry/Fowl For Sale" it says "Any person engaged in buying live poultry of any kind for resale, or in selling live poultry of any kind bought for the purpose of resale, must be licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Possessing such a license does not by itself disqualify an individual from advertising poultry in the Market Bulletin; however, advertisers should note that all livestock (which includes poultry), must have been in the possession of the advertiser for a minimum of 90 days or, in the case of chicks, ducklings, etc., must have been raised by the advertiser before offering them for sale in the Market Bulletin. Mallard ducks must be at least three generations from the wild before they can be advertised in the Market Bulletin. Advertisers must include this information in notices submitted for publication."

If this is the license that you're supposed to have, then as I understand it only people selling poultry that was bought to be resold need have a license. I know a lady who would order chicks from hatcheries for people that didn't want to order the minimum number. She had to have this license, but say if I hatched chicks and sold them (which I've done) I don't believe I would need to have this license. But I didn't talk to the people, so I'm just trying to make sure, because I do occasionally sell birds at our Farmer's Market, and I wouldn't want to get in trouble if I need a license to do so.

EDIT:Sorry I have just been reading the Swap thread, and I guess this has already been brought up. Sorry again. :s
