i dont think they have websites.
 
It wouldn't be a long trip to England. Put the chicks on a plane, they are there is less than 12 hours.

Check with the ministries of fishing and agriculture and find out what the regulations are for importing birds. If you can meet those requirements and you don't mind paying for the shipping, I am sure that there is someone in the USA that will sell you chicks.

The shipping is going to be really expensive. They will have to go cargo on one of the airlines. The post office can't ship them.

yep that way you are talking $500 or so in shipping alone for a box of chicks. Plus the US based seller has to have a USDA Live Animal Export permit. Avian Vet Health certificates on the originating flock, Import permit on the Buyers end. And if they are like the US on importing, a 30 day quarentine period after arrival in an approved facility.

Not sure of all the import laws there, but for here you'd be well into the thousands for a box of chicks after it's all said and done. The last importer here in the US I talked to ended up being over $5000 on their import from Europe and that was EGGS! And finding someone willing to go threw all the red tape, and expense to get a US Export permit (which they dont just give away) for a few chicks, well that'd be 1 in a million.

The UK and England have some of the nicest poultry in the world anyway, so you would be MUCH better off to just find it there or in Europe as they trade more freely country to country than we get to.

Google the breed you are looking for, there is a UK or European club for just about every breed available

You use a broker. That takes care of any export license (if one is needed). But still, rather expensive. Shipping and probably quarantine. Not to mention that the type of birds good enough to import aren't going to be cheap to purchase.

Coming into the USA, the quarantine is what gets you.

It might be worth it for top quality of something not locally available. One would assume there would be a market for chicks after you received your birds so there is the possibility to recoups some of the expense.

I've sent many dogs to and from Britain, and it costs, but the procedure isn't difficult. You just have to be organized and do everything right on schedule and have the right paperwork.

I've got my eye on some Pomeranian geese from Norway, but the cost of quarantine is stopping me.
 
I thought you still had to personally have the export license for your individual farm on poultry as well as a broker to handle it all.

I know on poultry importing to the USA, those I know who have done it with poultry had to have both the import permits and a Broker to pick them up and escort them to the quarantine facility. Either way, yep it's a bunch of paper work and the cost can get very high, yes mostly in those quarantine days. I believe that's $10-$15 per day per bird minimum of 30 sick free days.
