I have about 25 chickens and they lay about a dozen eggs a day. I sell the extras from my front door, perhaps 5 dozen a week, which earns me $15. After I pay for cartons and chicken feed, plus my annual $50 Dept of Agricultural license, I am in the hole - always. Do I need a business license? I don't report these losses on my income tax or call myself a business at all. Since food is not taxed, I don't collect taxes or have resale permit. Am I in any trouble? A disgruntled neighbor 1/2 a mile from me is trying to make waves.
