There is no dumb question! It is a Naked Neck chicken or also called a Turken.

Ok, I should have figured that out. How are they with the cold? I have thought of raising some of them just to see them as chicks--I bet they are fun chicks!!

They are actually very cute as chicks!! They do well with the cold. We had some really cold nights last winter in PA and I was worried about them, but I would feel their necks and they were always warm. Some like the snow but my girls didn't. They were stranded on a bare spot where the sun melted the snow and didn't want to step in the snow to get back to the barn. LOL:rolleyes:

Both are little NN/Silkie mixes

Don't quote me please, but in digging into the question of who is a dealer LAST year, It was a person who buys here and there and resells, it doesn't apply to poultry on the premises more than 6 months or born on the premises. I'll try to dig into this more and find my notes......

Sellers and resellers of any animal can spread disease, and we all need to be careful of that! All of you who come to our house, know we spray you down and you don't get to get into the chicken tractors or too near them because disease can shed from your clothing to the chickens!!!

okay here's the reference: 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 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.

Okay 'nuff said...Have a great weekend to all... Time for chores...5 am comes early! Farmer Nancy

It is a 90 day holding period for the animals if you are a reseller, or in the case of babies, these must be born on your place and ALSO, don't forget to report as income....Said the poor little farmer who still cannot meet her food bill for $2000 in fees and licenses to operate as a farm..... I know it gets hard but do the right thing for the health of your animals and all animals in GA.... May I SHOULD run for something...too much coffee gotta run.... And yes, I have animals for sale, bunnies born on the farm and breeder rabbits, a few hens, some turkeys,,,,all from here!

Not according to http://www.foodscience.caes.uga.edu...RequirementsforLicensingaSmallEggProducer.pdf .

If you sell less than 30 dozen eggs (!) at a time from less than 3000 hens (!!), you don't have to have a licensed egg processing facility or have a food sales establishment license, but "All eggs offered for sale must be graded by a certified grader" and "The eggs must be candled by a certified candler".

Have you seen conflicting information somewhere else? Sadly mine aren't laying enough that selling any is an option, we eat them all!
