NPIP- Certified Hatchery
Healthy ducklings start here: as an NPIP-certified hatchery, we carefully monitor and test every bird for disease so your ducklings arrive bright-eyed, energetic, and ready to thrive.
Nearly 20 Years of Experience
A few backyard ducks in 2007 sparked a passion that’s now a nationwide hatchery—yet Shirlock Acres still raises every bird with the same honest, family-level care you’ll read about on our About Us page.
State-of-the-Art Hatchery
From the moment they hatch, our ducklings are raised in a safe, well-kept environment where every detail is watched over with care. That attention ensures the birds you receive are healthy, thriving, and eager to settle into their new home.
Family Owned Business
Shirlock Acres is very much a family story in motion—a hatchery that grew out of Roger and Ruth giving their boys something meaningful to do and slowly turned into a full-time way of life.
