Available nowSebastopol Geese
Mature curly-feathered birds, sold singly or as matched unrelated pairs. The shortest route to a laying flock.
We ship Sebastopol geese to Illinois (IL), along with the other 47 contiguous states. Both ends of the year are constrained: hard winters and humid summers leave spring and early autumn as the reliable stretches.

In seasonFertile eggs collected fresh and packed for transit. No hatch rate can be guaranteed on eggs that have travelled.
Illinois is one region out from Simsboro, Louisiana. Overnight service, usually through a single hub transfer. Straightforward routing in the shoulder seasons.
Both ends of the year are constrained: hard winters and humid summers leave spring and early autumn as the reliable stretches. We would rather hold a shipment by a fortnight than send a bird into conditions that are not safe for it, and heat is the greater danger of the two. Most buyers in Illinois are around Chicago, which is worth telling us when you enquire so we can talk about a realistic window.
The general policy, including what to do if something goes wrong on arrival, is on the shipping and live arrival page.
Chicago is a major hub, so the northern half of the state is generally easier to reach than the southern counties. The care guide covers housing, water and diet in full, and it applies wherever you are: dry shelter, shade, and water deep enough for a bird to submerge its whole head in.
States set their own requirements for incoming poultry and those requirements change. Buyers in Illinois are responsible for confirming what the state currently asks for before ordering. We will not guess at another state's regulations, and you should be wary of any seller who does.
The same flock ships everywhere. See every bird we have photographed on the geese page, or pick by age: juveniles, goslings, or hatching eggs. Colours we are running are in the colours guide. If nothing is available in the colour you want, ask to go on the list for the next hatch rather than settling.
Buyers near the Illinois line sometimes find a neighbouring state easier to receive into: Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri. All 48 are listed on the by state directory.
