Shipping Rates and Information Continental US Shipping Rates
Meyer Hatchery ships live poultry on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays USPS Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express depending on the poultry type and quantity ordered; express is an optional upgrade for most day old chick orders. Orders most commonly arrive in 2 days or less, but can take up to 3. Your order should arrive no later than Saturday. Chicks are typically held at the post office and they will call you to pick them up. Please contact your local post office to determine how they handle packages of live animals or if alternative arrangements need to be made for delivery. Poultry must be picked up promptly. Hatching Egg orders are typically delivered with your regular mail to the address on the package.

Hatching Partners
Meyer Hatchery partners with a select few trusted hatching partners to provide species we do not hatch on site. This includes our waterfowl, heritage turkeys, guineas, game birds, free shipping Cornish Cross, free shipping Ranger Broilers, free shipping Golden Buff as well as exotic juvenile fowl. Different species have unique environments, breeding programs, incubating, and hatching requirements and we leave those types of poultry to the experts in their field. Some of these hatching partners are located outside of the state of Ohio. You will still enjoy the same shipping time frames and product guarantees offered on everything ordered from Meyer Hatchery. Because these hatching partners are offsite, these items are not available for pickup and there is the occasional delay in tracking number receipt.
