NPIP (National Poultry Improvement Plan) is the USDA program that certifies flocks as free of certain diseases. Most states require NPIP certification for interstate shipments of live birds and hatching eggs. We strongly recommend buying only from NPIP-certified breeders - look for the green NPIP badge on a listing.
Day-old chicks and hatching eggs ship via USPS Express to most US states. Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands have import restrictions. Some states (CA, NY, GA, others) require pre-shipment notification or specific permits for adult birds. Confirm with your state Department of Agriculture before ordering adults.

Snap a photo of the birds in the shipping box and a photo of the shipping label, then go to /claim.html and submit within your tier's claim window. We review within one business day.
