Shipping Policy

Melissahof poultry are certified under the USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) as clean from pullorum-typhoid and H5/H7 avian influenza.

Hatching eggs can be shipped to all US states, including Alaska and Hawai’i. There are some states that require additional permits and animal health testing. If you reside in Texas, please contact Melissa prior to ordering hatching eggs.

Hatching eggs are shipped out of Lander, Wyoming 82520 via the US Postal Service on Mondays to avoid them sitting in a US Post Office over a weekend. The eggs are cushioned by foam shippers crafted to transport hatching eggs.

  • Melissahof is unable to guarantee the hatchability of any eggs due to conditions outside of Melissa’s control during shipping and incubation.
  • Melissahof does guarantee that your eggs will be shipped fresh and in excellent condition.
  • All hatching eggs are shipped prepaid US Priority Mail, categorized as fragile, and are insured. Open the box(es) that contain your hatching eggs at your Post Office and report any damaged eggs to your Post Office or delivery driver, including separated chalazae, to receive insurance reimbursement for any damages.

Currently, Melissahof hatching eggs and live poultry cannot be shipped to Canada. Also, Melissahof does not ship live poultry – baby chicks or started pullets – outside of Wyoming.

Delivery within Wyoming for live poultry and hatching eggs is available.

fresh eggs

Mellisahof’s fresh eggs are amazing, the firmness of the yokes and fluffy texture make them absolutely delicious. I love frying them up and adding them to a variety of dishes. I have no idea how Melissa does it, but she has found the secret to delicious, fresh eggs.

Successful hatches!

I purchased some hatching eggs for my broody hens & I cannot recommend her enough! The eggs were shipped fresh, came very quickly & were packaged so great! I had two VERY successful hatches (Half the eggs under a proven hen and half under a first time broody.) I now have a dozen very beautiful and healthy Salmon Faverolles and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, & two very happy mama hens!

The eggs made it in perfect condition and thank you for such a great job packing them. Gonna let them rest and acclimate for a day then set them in the incubator.   Oh!!! Thanks for the extra eggs! Very much appreciated!
