Waterfowl Sale and Disposal Permits 

(50 CFR 21.25)       Please Note that you must read these regulations prior to signing your application.
Waterfowl sale and disposal permits are issued for the purpose of lawfully selling, trading, donating, or otherwise disposing of to another person, any species of captive-reared and properly marked migratory waterfowl or their eggs. Permits are not required to dispose of captive-reared mallard ducks or 
their eggs, but the birds must be physically marked by 6 weeks of age (see 50 CFR 21.13 for marking requirements). Permits are not required to possess captive-bred waterfowl which were legally obtained from a federally licensed waterfowl sale and disposal permittee.
