Maine State Laws governing the sale of poultry/waterfowl & goats

Maine State Law:

MAINE RULES AND REGS ON SALES OF LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, WATERFOWL, MILK, CHEESE

http://www.maine.gov/agriculture/ahi/ahisr.html

5A. SCRAPIE TAGS FOR SHEEP AND GOATS are required by Maine and a federal ruling to be transported, shown or sold.

5B. birds do not need to be in the NPIP Program. Its great if your
birds are Typhoid & Pollorum tested to keep these diseases out of
US.

The only time you need to have tested birds is at a fair/show.

The only stipulations are that at public events in Maine you have to
sell any birds under 8 weeks old in lots of 6, above the 8 weeks, they
can go one at a time. Now, from your house or farm you can sell singular
birds of any age.

You must purchase 6 from the one family the chicks are raised in, not 1
bird here, 1 bird there. (I believe its the pecking order and younger
chicks could be harmed)

NO PROCESSING OR NEUTERING OF ANIMALS


Mammals must be completely weaned and minimum of 8 weeks old.
