California Breeders & Hatcheries

This is a list of California hatcheries. About half of the links are no longer active. If updated, it could be a good resource.

I like using www.avbirds.com had really good experiences with them.

Please do not buy from Hilltop Farm in Corona, Ca. I was shipped sick chickens who were not given enough
Hydration gel to make a 2 day journey. The box was so small that the chickens couldn't stand. Many chickens died on the way or shortly after arrival. The rest died over the following weeks. The farm will not issue a refund. Please save yourselves the heartache and the money. Do not buy from Hilltop Farms. Worst Farm ever!

No one should do business with California Hatchery. No one answers the phone, no one emails you back. Been trying for 3 months. Then all the poor baby ducklings arrived dead. It was heartbreaking.

Nice reference for people in CA!

This is handy. I sure would like to see one for the East Coast or Mid West regions - and I'm sure others could use them for wherever they live.
