American Bresse Chicks
We are finished hatching for the 2023 season.
***WE WILL BEGIN HATCHING AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OF 2024***
We will be offering hatching aggs until the fall of 2023. You can order them HERE.
Paid reservations take priority and are filled first.
All other available chicks are offered on our Facebook page
on a first come, first served basis. Like and follow
Winlock American Bresse
to see when extra chicks are available. Extra chicks are always first come, first
served and must be picked up promptly. We are hatching weekly and need
to free up brooder space quickly to make room for the next batch.
If you know that you definitely want chicks from us, it is best to place
a PREPAID reservation so that you are guaranteed to receive them.
Thank you for your interest in our birds!

SOLD OUT FOR 2023

Chicks are offered on a first come, first served basis (or you can prepay in advance to reserve them). To be added to our reservation list please fill out the form, below. We will contact you as soon as your chicks become available. You will also find our hatching schedule, above. You can indicate which hatch date you are interested in on our contact form. We will do our best to accommodate you, but we can never guarantee how many chicks hatch from a particular batch.
​
To RESERVE chicks, you will be required to prepay, using ZELLE. You may also pay with cash, check, or postal money order. (Please note that we must receive your check/money order within 5 business days in order to hold your reservation. Make sure to mail it promptly. If it arrives late, you will get the next available hatching date).
Zelle is a simple transfer from one bank account to another. Most banking institutions offer this, and it may already be included in your banking app. If not, I can send you a Zelle request and you can usually pay via a debit card.
Checks and postal money orders can be made out to:
Roxanna Willoughby
P.O. Box 84
Vader, WA 98593
​
You will need to pick up (or have transported) the chicks within 2 days of being notified they are ready, or you will forfeit your reservation and they will be offered to the next in line. Reservation fees are NON-REFUNDIBLE.
​
We are not NPIP. We DO NOT ship chicks with USPS. We charge a flat rate of $60 to transport your chicks up to 150 miles. The USPS has been horrible and not able to get chicks to their proper destination.
​
Chicks need to be picked up (or transported) within 2 days of our notifying you they are ready.
