Frequently Asked Questions

No, we ship to your local post office, where you will need to pick them up when they call you. We recommend calling them ahead of time to give them a heads-up.

When you order online, you will choose your hatch date. Chicks will be shipped on that date, and shipping takes approximately 2 to 3 business days based on your location.

Shipping costs vary. You can see an estimate of your shipping costs online with our shipping quote tool. 

We recommend shipping to the largest town you feel comfortable driving to. The chicks will go to the largest post office to the smallest.

The chicks hatch and ship the same day.

You will receive your tracking number the night they ship, typically between 5 – 7pm.

No. We do give them grow gel called NMAN but an interesting fact, chicks can survive up to 3 days after hatching without food or water because they are able to get water and nutrients from absorbing their yolk sac.

From March – May we ship using heat packs to ensure the chicks stay warm and safe when you receive them.

From June – August we ship our chicks using our summer box. This allows proper air flow so the chicks don’t over heat.

We provide 5% extra chicks with your order in case anything happens during shipment. Our goal is that the chicks arrive safely to you and you have extra chicks.

We replace any chicks you have lost minus the 5% free we have sent you. We will do our best to ship them to you as soon as possible.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) now requires a $15 additional surcharge per box on all shipments of live animals. This mandatory surcharge is required on all live orders with ship dates beginning January 19, 2025.
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-taxable. To minimize shipping costs and surcharge fees, each order is carefully optimized during checkout for the most efficient and cost-effective boxing.
For questions, or to voice your concerns regarding this surcharge, we recommend contacting your state senator or representative in Washington, DC. Click here to look up your senator or representative and their contact information.
