Before any baby chicks or baby poults are offered for sale at any auction or
auctions, sale barn, or community sale, except public sales conducted by
farmers selling baby chicks or baby poults reared on their own premises, a
permit shall be secured from the Division of Animal Health of the Department of
Agriculture, or the state veterinarian.
Any person who desires to offer baby chicks or baby poults for sale at any
auction or auctions, sale barn, or community sale, shall apply to the division or
the state veterinarian for a permit to hold the sale. A form shall be prescribed
and furnished by the division. This application shall be submitted at least three
(3) days before the sale to allow time for inspection of the chicks or poults
offered, by a representative of the division or the state veterinarian before any
chicks or poults are sold. This application shall be signed by the person who
proposes to conduct the sale, together with the person who owns the property
in or on which the sale is to be conducted, if the person who proposes to
conduct the sale does not own the property. The application shall designate the
date of the proposed sale, the number and breed of the chicks or poults to be
offered for sale, and the person or firm by whom they were produced, and shall
be accompanied by a fee in the sum of one dollar ($1) per hundred (100)
chicks or poults to be offered for sale. The division or the state veterinarian
shall be authorized in their discretion to grant or to deny the permit requested
in the application, and if deemed necessary or advisable to require the
applicant to submit a certificate in a form as the division or the state
veterinarian may prescribe, certifying that the baby chicks or baby poults which
may be offered for sale are in healthy condition.
On inspection by the representative of the division or state veterinarian, if the
chicks or poults offered for sale are found to be diseased, the representative
may confiscate all chicks or poults found to be diseased and may destroy the
chicks and poults.
