    Eggs and government overreach

    So living the country life ive started raising chickens. Well at this point Im up to 12 chickens and 4 guineas.

    Most of my chickens are prolific egg layers and will produce an egg a day which is way more than we will eat.

    So I looked into what I would need to do to legally sell them (not commercially, just put a sign out etc).

    Spoke to the dept of agriculture and they stated I had to get an egg candler certification. Apparently this entails taking a 4hr course from the state and passing the test.

    Problem is the state has 5 classes thru the rest of the year and they are all fully booked.

    So you require me to do something then make it impossible for me to do it?

    Interesting, and what do they expect you to see when you chandle the eggs?

      Its to make sure that there isnt a chick in there. Which btw requires roosters which I do not have.

        I come from the school of thought it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission especially in the land of over regulation we live in. Just another law that the bureaucrats made but can't keep up with!

              Government should be treated like a necessary evil. Kept at a minimum size.

                The Government rules have zero grey area. If it's printed it's enforced.
