Do I need an inspected plant to sell my chickens?

Federal law exempts some small on-farm poultry producers (the 1,000 and 20,000 bird exemptions) from continuous inspection, with limits on where the birds can be sold. Your state adds its own rules. An inspected plant removes the question.

How current is this list?

These pages rebuild nightly from their federal and state sources, and owners can correct their own listings through the claim page. An owner's word outranks the feeds.
