HOOVER’S BIOSECURITY CERTIFICATION STATEMENT

Poultry sold is originated directly from parent stock tested and found negative for poullorum typhoid diseases within the past 12 months. All our breeders have had no incident of AI (avian influenza), AE (avian encephalomyelitis), and E. coli shown with our blood testing. We also vaccinate all of our breeders for Mareks, BronchitisNewcastle, Bursal, Fowl Pox, Laryngotracheitis, and Salmonella. Hoover’s Hatchery works to receive permits from each state we ship to as part of our business.

At Hoover’s we hold ourselves to a very high standard of excellence. After over 75 years, we know our day-to-day can include unexpected obstacles - that’s where our spirit of ingenuity and can-do attitude kicks in, so in the end we can better serve you. Producing happy and healthy chicks is our unwavering standard of excellence, and we always do whatever it takes to make sure that happens!

Hoover’s Hatchery was born in the summer of 1944 when Bob Hoover and his wife Helen decided to take over the small hatchery that was here in the small town of Rudd, Iowa. Bob and Helen hatched and sold baby chicks until their retirement in the early 70’s. At that point, Doug and Mary Halsted had been long time employees of the hatchery who helped manage the day-to-day operations. They soon took over the hatchery and owned and operated it for 47 years. Today, Hoover’s is owned by a group of families who believe in the very same principle on which the Hoovers and the Halsteds built the hatchery. Mary Halsted continues to serve as our trusted advisor and keeps us on our toes.

Hoover’s Hatchery guarantees live delivery of quality baby chicks of the breed you ordered. We guarantee all sexed birds to be 90% accurate as to sex. In producing our baby chicks, we have followed established flock control standards, sanitary, and disease control standards. We are dealing with live baby chicks and occasionally, despite our mutual efforts, something goes astray.

48 HOUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee your birds up to 48 hours after they arrive in your care with a refund or a reshipment. If you have any problems, email us at sales@hoovershatchery.com or give us a call, we’ll be glad to help you! We do this with good faith that you have followed the care steps for your birds in our online catalog from the moment of their arrival.

USPS SHIPPING INFO

We send a tracking email once your birds ship. The USPS is NOT perfect in scanning packages from location-tolocation. The package should, and will usually arrive in 48 hours no matter what the tracking says. *It is good practice to call your local post office to let them know you have a bird shipment coming and to let them know to hold the order there and have them call you. You may cancel your order up to ONE DAY PRIOR to your set ship date that is listed on your order confirmation email.
