Can I lease out the unplaceable birds that I have due to the increase in utilization?

Answer: Yes, the current leasing rules, reviewed in 2025, remain in effect.  This provides producers time to make decisions on their next steps.

Some considerations for this option:
a)  All potential quota leases must be posted to an industry Quota Billboard (above).  Your name, phone number or email, the amount of quota for lease and your placement dates must be included.  The quota must be posted for a minimum of 14 days.
b)  Unplaceable hens will expire annually and are not eligible to be carried over into the following year.  Birds not placed are cancellable.
c)  All leases are subject to the Quota Lease Checklist and the appropriate production planning conducted by the Commission staff.
d)  Leases must meet all the Permissible Lease and Quota Transfer criteria of the Consolidated Order (see Amending Order 40).
