SHIPPING COSTS

How to calculate shipping costs for orders of less than 15 chicks:

Orders of 3 -14 Birds have a $20.00 shipping cost.  All orders with less than 15 total birds will incur a $25.00 small order fee. 

How to calculate shipping costs for orders of 15 or more chicks:
Step 1: $25.00 flat shipping cost        Step 2: 15 or more birds x $0.30 per bird charge.       Example: $25.00 + 15 birds x $0.30 ($4.50) = $29.50 shipping cost.

*PLEASE NOTE* MANDATORY USPS Live Animal Surcharge of $15.00 per box of chicks beginning January 19, 2025.
This surcharge is in addition to the shipping costs.  A USPS surcharge will be applied to orders containing live birds during checkout as a separate line item.  This mandatory fee is presented transparently, ensuring customers can see all assessed fees.  The surcharge is passed on without any markup and is non-refundable as this is a service fee and not a live product.  To minimize shipping costs and surcharge fees, each order is carefully optimized during checkout for the most efficient and cost-effective boxing.

100% Live Arrival Guaranteed!

Safe & Timely Live Arrival Guarantee

We know that you take great care in selecting the breeds for your flock when placing your order with us, so we do everything possible to ensure you receive a safe and timely delivery of healthy, happy chicks.

We offer a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee on all poultry from The Chick Hatchery.  We guarantee that your shipment will arrive safe and in a timely manner insuring you will receive a full count of live, healthy poultry that you ordered and paid for.  Poultry is sent via Priority Live Shipping through the USPS on the day of hatch and is received in 1-3 days.  We put a lot of care in making sure that your order is filled correctly and that it is prepared for shipment according to the weather.  Poultry Breeds and sexes will be mixed to ensure that your chicks arrive to you in optimum condition.  Generally, we try to add extra chicks of the same breed/sex ordered when available to help fulfill this guarantee so be sure to count your live chicks when they arrive.  We do not guarantee that every order will receive extra chicks.

You must pick up your chicks at the post office upon arrival.  Our Guarantee is void for any live parcels not picked up within 24 hours of arriving at your local Post Office or if you request delivery from the USPS to your physical shipping address.

We recommend you open your shipping box as soon as you receive it and inspect your poultry.  If there is a loss during transit, we must be notified within 24 hours from the time the shipment was received by submitting a loss claim through our Loss Reporting Form.  If you receive fewer live chicks than you paid for, we will issue a refund of the chick purchase price which is missing or was dead on arrival.  Re-shipments are subject to availability and minimum shipping requirements.  It is important to note for partial losses, the price of poultry lost will be refunded – we are unable to make partial reshipments.  For all orders, our Guarantee only covers the cost of poultry.  Vaccinations, USPS surcharges and shipping costs are considered services and are not refundable.

We are unable to refund or replace poultry once they arrive safely and in a timely manner.  Our replacement or refund policy is only for unsafe or unusually long shipping risks that the USPS causes and must be reported immediately.  Buying live poultry has potential risks of successfully raising them and the buyer understands these risks.  Sometimes things go wrong with no real reason that can be determined even when care instructions are followed.

Quality Guarantee

Our hatchery guarantees you will receive the correct breed of poultry you ordered and paid for.  All poultry offered by The Chick Hatchery is guaranteed to be the breed standard, variety, grade, and quality as represented.  We do not guarantee any poultry to be of show quality although you may receive poultry that could possibly be shown.  We follow approved methods of flock control and egg selection and have established sanitary and disease control standards in our operation.  Our breeder flocks are large; therefore, it is not likely to receive related poultry.  We cannot guarantee poultry to be free from any disease that could not be discovered when hatched.  Marek’s vaccinations are available for purchase as a precautionary measure, and we will not be held responsible if your chicks test positive after a safe and timely delivery.

Sexing Guarantee

We offer a 90% Pullet (Female) Sexing Guarantee for poultry ordered from The Chick Hatchery.  For errors resulting greater than guaranteed, we will refund the difference between the female and male price.  Sexing errors can be reported when birds reach 10 weeks of age and no later than 12 weeks after the hatch date.  Photos are required as proof when reporting a sexing error.  Straight Run chicks mean chicks were not sexed and there is no sexing guarantee on percentages of males or females for Straight Run orders.  We do not offer sexing on all the breeds we sell, for these breeds it is either too hard on them or because the professional sexers’ accuracy is not good enough and would cause customer dissatisfaction.  At no time will The Chick Hatchery credit an amount exceeding the original purchase price.

 

All Chicks from The Chick Hatchery LLC are hatched from NPIP Certified Flocks and carry minimum classifications of Avian Influenza Clean as well as Pullorum Typhoid Clean to improve the industry.  You can always depend on high-quality, healthy chicks from The Chick Hatchery!

Chicks are shipped by USPS Priority Mail the same day that they hatch.  When they arrive to you, your chicks will be 24-72 hours old.  Day old chicks ship Monday thru Wednesday ONLY!  Baby chicks ingest the yolk before they hatch, and this is enough nourishment for 72 hours.  We add Gro Gel to the box to keep them happy and well-nourished until they arrive at their destination!  Poultry Breeds and sexes will be mixed to ensure that your chicks arrive to you in optimum condition.   Our chicks’ boxes are designed to help keep chicks safe and warm while they are on their way to you.

How far in advance should I book my order?
*As soon as you know when and how many birds you want to order you should book your order.
*We fill orders on a first come, first served basis.  It is important to place your pre-paid order as soon as possible to get the best chance at earlier ship dates.  Some breeds, especially rare breeds, sell out faster than others.
*You can pick the week you would like your poultry shipped to you or note ASAP.  It is common practice to order 2-6 weeks prior to the date you want for delivery.  When we receive your order, we look for the earliest possible date for ALL of your breeds requested and are available together.  Some breeds (rare turkeys, guineas, ducks, and game birds) are not available until later in the year.
*We then secure that date and take those birds off the market for sale and send you a confirmation of your hatch/ship date.  Because live newly hatched chicks become perishable the day they hatch, it is necessary to have them all sold well before their hatch date.  We hatch thousands of poultry each week and we do a pretty good job of counting our chicks before they hatch when we secure your order.

How to calculate shipping costs for orders of less than 15 chicks:

Orders of 3 -14 Birds have a $20.00 shipping cost.  All orders with less than 15 total birds will incur a $25.00 small order fee. 

How to calculate shipping costs for orders of 15 or more chicks:
Step 1: $25.00 flat shipping cost        Step 2: 15 or more birds x $0.30 per bird charge.       Example: $25.00 + 15 birds x $0.30 ($4.50) = $29.50 shipping cost.

*PLEASE NOTE* MANDATORY USPS Live Animal Surcharge of $15.00 per box of chicks beginning January 19, 2025.
This surcharge is in addition to the shipping costs.  Orders of 3 to 100 chicks will receive one surcharge.  Orders of 100+ chicks will receive multiple Surcharges per 100 chicks ordered.  A USPS surcharge will be applied to orders containing live birds during checkout as a separate line item.  This mandatory fee is presented transparently, ensuring customers can see all assessed fees.  The surcharge is passed on without any markup and is non-refundable as this is a service fee and not a live product.  To minimize shipping costs and surcharge fees, each order is carefully optimized during checkout for the most efficient and cost-effective boxing.  This fee is nonrefundable.

Will I receive Tracking Information?
Tracking Information will be sent if you request it.  Tracking Information is sent the evening your chicks ship out or the morning after the chicks leave the Hatchery.  We do not Guarantee you will receive Tracking the same day your order ships out.

The USPS Tracking information could show inaccurate or dated information. It is a bit tricky when shipping live poultry.

  • The USPS sometimes reuses tracking numbers.  If you see tracking information that has dated or completely incorrect information, this may be why.  The correct information will appear when the package is scanned at the originating postal facility.  Please recheck your Tracking ID later.
  • The Tracking ID system that the USPS uses is NOT a complete, real-time report of the package’s location, and the system is still in its infancy.  Please do not panic if the Tracking ID information shows that the package has not moved, doesn’t appear to be making progress, or the tracking shows a 3 – 5-day transit time Rest assured, most packages arrive in 1-2 days, some may take 3 days depending on your location.
Tracking Information is provided by the USPS.  We do what we can, but ultimately are not responsible for the accuracy of the tracking information.
How long will it take for my chicks to arrive at the post office after they have been shipped?
After you have received your “Chicks Have Shipped” email, this means that your birds have been shipped.  It should take 1-2 business days to get to your Post Office after they have left our facility.  Some Order may take 3 days, but this is usually to Rural areas.  Baby chickens are perishable, and you are expected to be available at any time of any day, the week your chicks hatch and ship.
Will the Post Office deliver the chicks to my home?
Chicks are shipped to your local Post Office.  You will have to work something out with your Post Office if you want them to be delivered to your home.   We put your phone number on the shipping box, and we instruct the post office to call you to come and pick them up at the post office.  Delivery can be 1-3 days.  Make sure you are available for the anticipated day and days around the arrival date and that you have someone to care for chicks the first 24 hours in the brooder.
What if I cannot request the ship date that I want?
This may occur because we have sold out of a particular sex/breed of chicks for that day, specify an alternate date that works for you in the customer notes section of the order form.  Keep in mind when ordering multiple Breeds, we need to find a common available hatch date for all breeds selected which may cause a desired ship date to be different from what you have selected.  Our Availability is updated once a week so the date you desired may not be available when we book your order.

We are sorry if we are not available for the phone if you called and received our voicemail.    We do apologize if you have trouble getting through.  You may find it easier and quicker to email us use our Contact Us form if you need a quick response.

Internet orders are processed in the order they are received.  When ordering through the website you will receive an immediate e-mail response notifying you that your order has been received.  The email will tell you that your order is on hold until we have finished processing it.   You will receive a second e-mail in 1-3 business days that includes your confirmed ship date or estimated date of arrival.  If the e-mail address you listed on your order is correct and you have not heard from us in 7 days, check that your Spam/Junk folder has not blocked our e-mail.

We are hatching thousands of birds weekly and securing your order and Ship Date is done as quickly as humanly possible.

Expect your order to arrive at your Post Office in 1 to 3 days from the ship date.  Please be aware that 98% of orders arrive within two days, some orders may take 3 days to arrive.  We do our best to meet the scheduled ship date.  If for some reason, we are unable to provide chicks on the scheduled ship date, we will notify you and you can choose to either reschedule or cancel your order.  We ship chicks Mondays – Wednesdays.  We fill orders on a first come, first served basis.  It is important to place your pre-paid order as soon as possible to get the best chance at earlier ship dates.  Typically, an order can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to ship out.  *Please let us know if you are willing to accept any substitutions to have an earlier ship date*

Please open all boxes immediately when you pick them up at the Post Office and inspect your chicks. 

If a loss occurs during shipment or shortly thereafter, our policy requires that we are notified within 24 hours of arrival.

What happens if I have chicks that are dead upon arrival?  Can I get a Refund?

We offer a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee on all poultry from The Chick Hatchery.  We guarantee that when your shipment arrives you will receive a full count of live, healthy poultry that you ordered and paid for.  Poultry are shipped USPS Priority Mail on the day of hatch.  We put a lot of care in making sure that your order is filled correctly and that it is prepared for shipment according to the weather.  Poultry Breeds and sexes will be mixed to ensure that your chicks arrive to you in optimum condition.  Generally, we try to add extra chicks when available to help fulfill this guarantee so be sure to count your live chicks when they arrive.  We do NOT guarantee that every order will receive extra chicks, especially if your order is just for a few chicks or we have a less than expected hatch rate.  However, if losses should occur in shipment and you do receive less live chicks than you ordered and paid for, we will make an adjustment by replacing poultry depending on availability, if you have a TOTAL LOSS or by refund at the discretion of the hatchery.  Please open chick boxes immediately and inspect poultry.  If you do not have a full count of live chicks that you paid for, please email us so we can make an adjustment.  This guarantee is only for the safe and live delivery of your poultry.  Any loss must be reported to the hatchery within 24 hours of receipt for any adjustment to be made.

We will offer a refund for properly cared for poultry that deceased within 24 hours of the time of arrival to your post office.  While we appreciate notification of losses as they happen, we ask that you report your total losses one time, at the end of the 24-hour period using our Chick Loss Report.

Please provide a Total Count of all birds received, a Live Count and a Loss Count.  Pictures of dead chicks are REQUIRED.

Please fill out our Hatchery Loss Reporting Form.

Reimbursements are limited to the cost of the birds ONLY and will NOT include cost of Vaccination Services, surcharges or Shipping Charges as these are considered Services, not products.

What our clients are saying

THE BEST chick experience we have had so far! We ordered 15 Cinnamon Queens hens and received 17 all alive and thriving! We are on day 6 since receiving the chicks and still no losses. We have ordered from Cackle and Meyer both before and were so much more pleased with The Chick Hatchery. We will be returning to you guys for future purchases. Highly, highly recommend.
Macy Brush
Very good hatchery and customer service!!! Ordered 30 chicks lost almost half due to the mail service took a extra day to deliver my chicks and we had a extreme cold front hit didn’t help.its a long journey from Oregon to Mississippi but clearly wasn’t the hatchery’s fault nor mine. I got in touch with Matt and followed their instructions and within a week i had 30 more chicks in the mail all happy and healthy. I highly recommend The Chick Hatchery!!
PJ Bowers
Easy and awesome experience!
Aaron Moore
I ordered 15 silkies that arrived this past Friday. 5 of them were from the silkie assortment and they sent me a nice variety and an additional 2 chicks in my order. The chicks are doing great and seem to be very healthy; especially compared to ones I’ve gotten from the feed store this past season. I will definitely be ordering from The Chick Hatchery again in the future!
Ashley Johnson
Let me first say that for year I have been hatching my own birds. This past winter, after some tricky hatched, I decided to try ordering from The Chick Hatchery. I live in a cold climate and it’s only February…that could’ve gone either way. Now the amazing end of the story…I received the healthiest, most beautiful birds…every single chick was well and vivacious. The heating pack lasted, the box was sturdy, and every fluffy ball of love is perfect. What an amazing experience. I’m so very thankful. I will continue to buy from The Chick Hatchery with confidence. Thank you!!!
Amy Carter
Excellent Customer Service!
Steve Brown
I don’t normally do reviews but I’m overjoyed, I received my ISA Brown girls and Americana girls this morning and they are all spunky and very happy!! Thank you for such happy chicks!! I’m also very thankful for amazing customer relations they were extremely nice and helpful!!
Andrea Snelgrove
I called The Chick Hatchery to see what breeds would be available and when. I needed to find chicks that would arrive fairly quickly, because I was planning to sneak them under a broody hen while she was still broody! I ordered 15 chicks, of mixed and matched breeds. They arrived happy and active, and are now snuggled up under momma hen. So cute! Thank you! Customer service was responsive, informative, and pleasant. I am glad I chose The Chick Hatchery!
Casey Kay
This is my first year raising chickens. Matt took the time to explain different breeds to me and how to care for them. I am so happy with my flock! Thank you Matt for helping us get the birds that were right for our family! #flockgoals
Teresa Tafoya
Just received my chicks Thursday and I am in love! All are healthy and happy! Plus Matt was very nice and helpful with any questions and with order information. Will definitely order from them again next round of chicks (maybe even ducks next)
Jessica Wynn
This is my second order and I was very pleased with the first order. They were on time and all healthy! Prices are very reasonable as well as many breeds to choose from!! Very easy to work with. I highly recommend buying from The Chick Hatchery!
Brittany Winslett
Excellent service and prices, very helpful. I would recommend the chicken hatchery to everyone. Matt went out of his way to help teach us about raising our first batch of chickens.
Shane Cooper
Jordan from Stone E River Ranch here- The chick hatchery treated us very fairly and honestly. He stayed in consistent contact with us throughout the process. He is a very nice guy, and a good business owner.
Jordan Lindsay
Great experience from start to finish. Chicks arrived in 2 days. All healthy and alive. Was able to get the exact breeds I wanted without​ the headache of ordering 5 or more on the 6 breeds I got. Can’t think The Chick Hatchery enough.
