Reputable hatcheries in Southern California?

Hi, I live in Lancaster California (high desert), and over the years I have tried almost every local chicken hatchery. Some better than others. But the most consistent for quality and health for chicks I've gotten from Cackle hatchery. Yes, at times it can be kind of inconvenient to have to go to the post office to pickup my chicks when they arrive, but well worth it. I've yet to be disappointed in Cackle's service and quality of stock.
 
Taking birds back after they leave your property is against the rules for NPIP.. which states no birds may come from non NPIP sources.. this includes once they've left your property.. according to my understanding.. and if not then.. what good is the NPIP anyways???????

I highly recommend against them (dare2dream) and they don't hatch their own birds.. they order from elsewhere.. last time I checked.

Are they NPIP?? This following statement was taken from their site at the following link..

https://www.dare2dreamfarms.com/chickens

"All chickens sold by Dare 2 Dream Farms are sourced from NPIP Certified Hatcheries and are:

  • H5/H7 Avian Avian Influenza Clean
  • Salmonella Monitored
  • Pullorum-Typhoid Clean"
They said they take the accidental roos to a ‘gentleman’s club’ where people can get roos for cheap. Maybe it’s off-site? I don’t really know, tbh
