Mr. Robinson,
The Texas Egg Law Rules are linked below. The department's authority is limited to chicken eggs. For information on exotic and domestic poultry and fowl please contact the Texas Animal Health Commission at 1-800-550-8242. In addition, it may also be a good idea to follow up with your local health department jurisdiction to ensure compliance.
Again, our authority is in the area of chicken eggs only.
producers of eggs who sell only the production of their own flocks without claiming any egg grade or size and without engaging in any previously defined egg marketing activity which would cause them to lose their identity as a producer, except that these producers are required to identify their eggs as "Produced by (producer's name)" and give their address;
