We are the leading hobby hatchery in the United States, offering over 200 varieties of purebred poultry — including chickens, ducks, geese, game birds, guineas, and turkeys. For nearly a century we have specialized in hatching and shipping baby chicks, powering the markets for heritage-breed poultry, backyard chickens, and sustainable agriculture.

Affiliate program terms
Joining. Applications are reviewed by our team, and we may accept or decline any application. Once approved, you get a personal referral link. Sign in to your Cackle Hatchery customer account with the email you applied with to open your affiliate dashboard.
Earning commission. You earn 10% (or the rate we agree with you) of the product sales on orders placed through your referral link. Commission is calculated on the product subtotal after discounts and does not include shipping, handling, or sales tax.
Attribution. When someone clicks your link, we remember the referral for 30 days on that browser. If they click another affiliate’s link in that time, the most recent link gets credit. Referrals can’t be tracked if the visitor blocks cookies or switches devices.
Self-referrals. Orders you place yourself, whether signed in or using your own email address, do not earn commission.
Cancellations and refunds. Commission is earned when a referred order is placed and is not reduced if that order is later cancelled or refunded. We may withhold commission on orders that appear fraudulent or abusive.
Payouts. We pay earned commission by PayPal to the email you provided, once a month. Contact us if your payout details change.
Promotion. Promote Cackle Hatchery honestly. Do not bid on our brand name in paid search, send spam, or make claims about our birds, shipping, or guarantees beyond what is on our website. Clearly disclose that you earn a commission, as FTC guidelines require.
Changes and termination. We may change these terms, commission rates, or the program at any time, and may end an affiliate’s participation for violating these terms. Commission earned on eligible orders before termination will still be paid.
