We ship to all 50 states, including Hawaii* and Alaska. 

*We can ship only chicks to Hawaii, no turkeys or ducks, due to special species specific import restrictions. All orders to be shipped to Hawaii must be placed at least 14 days before the expected hatch date, to allow us time to obtain the proper shipment and import/export permits, from the HDOA.

Your chicks will arrive within 1 to 3 days after they are shipped. All chicks ship on the hatch date. Some locations will receive chicks overnight, while others may require a full 3 days. If you have questions about shipping time to your location, please call us.

All chicks are shipped via USPS Priority Mail. USPS is the only carrier which accepts live poultry. 

Yes it is! We have a very good working relationship with USPS, thus it is very safe to have your chicks shipped. We rarely run into shipment issues, but if one does occur, please take a picture of the box, with the chicks in it at your post office, and have a postal employee witness it. Please send us the picture and we will file a claim with USPS. We will also work with USPS to determine what was the cause of the issue. We will always follow up with you and make things right, if an issue does occur. Please visit our refund policy for more information.

Yes we do! Weather can certainly pose issues throughout the year, fortunately, we are well prepared. We have summer boxes, as well as winter boxes. We determine the proper box to use for your order, by recording the high and low temperature of your location, for the expected arrival date, on the fulfillment label on your chick box, and then selecting the appropriate box. For extremely cold locations, we can also utilize specialized insulating pads, and heat packs.

Typically we put 25 chicks in a 25 ct. box, 50 chicks in a 50 ct. box, and 100 chicks in a 100 ct. box. However depending upon the weather, and the quantity of chicks that you order, this may vary. In very warm weather, we will usually put a maximum of 15 chicks in a 25 ct. box, 30 chicks in a 50 ct. box, and 80 chicks in a 100 ct. box. 

Typically, all orders are to be paid for at checkout. We do offer special payment terms for multiple hatch date orders, which may allow payment on the hatch date, HOWEVER, THIS REQUIRES PRIOR APPROVAL. 

If we attempt to process payment, and the payment declines, we will contact you immediately.  We will not place your order until payment processes successfully.

If you placed orders for APPROVED multiple hatch date payment terms, and payment declines, we will contact you immediately. If payment is not able to be processed successfully by 12:00 PM (PT) on the hatch date, your order will not be shipped, unless you call us and make arrangements for payment. Please call us immediately if you have reason to believe that a payment might decline.

Unfortunately, we do not. We display all available varieties on our website. We do not drop ship from other hatcheries.

For Cornish Cross, we ship 4% extra in each order. For all other varieties we usually will include 1 or 2 extra chicks per box. If we run short on a hatch, we will withhold extra chicks to avoid shorting customers, and your box will show a stamp, stating that no extras were included.

Yes we do, we guarantee 90% accuracy on all sexed pullets. We don't do any vent sexing at our hatchery, but we do have a few sexable breeds which are either feather sexable, or color-sexable. 

Please call us. We take customer satisfaction very seriously. If you receive anything other than what you ordered, please call us immediately. On your fulfillment label, on the side of each box, should be an initial belonging to the person responsible for the correct fulfillment of your order. Please let us know what the initial on your label is, we will make sure to make things right. 

We no longer have the box fee. All charges are included in the price per chick.

Yes, they usually do. If you plan to raise your chicks on conventional feed, use a 21%-22% protein chick starter, crumble. Feed this for 10 days up to 4 weeks, depending upon the recommendation of the feed supplier, leaving feed out all the time. After this period, transition to a lower protein "broiler grower" ration. Take care to restrict feeding. Typically it is suggested to leave feed out for 12 hours, then take it away for 12 hours. This will help to slow the growth rate for Cornish Cross.
