📝Shipping Hatching Eggs, Chicks, and Poultry Across State Lines
Shipping hatching eggs, chicks, and adult poultry across state lines requires careful planning. Each state has its own import rules and regulations, which can vary depending on bird type, age, flock certification, and even current disease outbreaks.
At Hatchaholics, we provide guidance to help vendors and buyers navigate these requirements—but we do not control or enforce state regulations. It is essential for every seller and buyer to verify shipping and import rules directly with official state authorities before sending or receiving birds or eggs.
Below, you’ll find an updated list of state contacts and import requirements as of August 11, 2025. For more detailed information, you can also visit the the National Poultry Improvement Plan Website.
