SALES TAX-EXEMPT INFORMATION

We now have our pullorum antigen. The Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Poultry Association require a negative Pullorum Typhoid test for birds older than 16 weeks of age before being entered in a swap, sale, or exhibition. All required poultry (chickens, guineas, pheasants, quail, and peafowl) must have a negative test prior to being sold at CYA Exchange. If you do not have proof of a negative test within 12 months, then a rapid whole blood test will be completed prior to you unloading your birds.

​

NO BIRDS WILL BE PLACED IN OUR CAGES WITHOUT A NEGATIVE TEST!

 

A different test must be used for turkeys. Turkeys must arrive with proof of their negative test. Doves, pigeons, and waterfowl are exempt from testing.

​

Drop off for all poultry is 7:45 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.
Poultry arriving prior to 7:45 a.m. or after 11:15 a.m. may be refused, please plan accordingly.

​

The seller will be charged a $2.00 fee per bird tested.

​

ODA requires the following numbers to be tested: If 1 bird is consigned – 1 bird is tested; if 2-5 birds are consigned – 2 birds are tested; if 6 or more birds are consigned – 3 birds are tested.

Thank you for helping us meet ODA standards!
