When will I get my eggs?
We generally ship out Hatching Eggs from Mid February through October. We try our best to give out the best estimate on shipping time but sometimes it takes longer than expected as we are a small farm and chickens can be unpredictable.
How will my Eggs Ship?
Hatching eggs will be shipped either USPS Priority 1-3 days or FedEx 2-Day, whichever is least expensive depending on your location. They will be individually wrapped in bubble wrap. The inside of the box will be lined with aluminum foil.
What if my eggs break in shipment?
We always reship or refund damaged eggs. We package really well so this hardly ever happens. Currently, from the buyers I have heard back from, 99% of my eggs have arrived unbroken. One gentleman I have stayed in contact with that lives hundreds of miles away e-mailed me recently and said 13 of 13 eggs hatched. Another gentleman that lives over 1000 miles away said that 21 of 24 hatched.
What if my eggs don’t hatch?
Be sure to let the legs rest for 48 hours in a cool place before you incubate. Sometimes the mailing process can be a bit rough and letting them rest for the 48 hours will increase your hatch rate. If you happen to have a bad hatch please contact us. We offer one free replacement shipment.
Can you sex the eggs?
No. Eggs are not sexed before shipment.
How old are the eggs?
Eggs are fertile and no more than three days old when I mail them.
Can I get mixed breed hatching eggs?
No. We only raise pure breed birds.
I have a pre-order. Will I lose my deposit if I change my mind?
No. We know life happens. If you change your mind about your order for any reason, prior to your order being shipped, just give us a call. We will refund your order in full, no questions asked.
What about Avian Influenza?
We are NPIP compliant. The USDA comes out to test our birds regularly and we are not allowing guests on the farm. Only a handful of people are allowed around the birds to prevent infection from getting tracked into the pens on anyone’s shoes and we use 1” mesh netting on all of our pens to prevent wild birds from spreading disease. All chicks that are shipped are hatched in an incubator and never have any interaction with the flock.
Some states have restricted shipments of chicks if avian influenza has been detected in the state of origin in the past 30 days. If that happens we will contact you and will either hold the order until the restrictions are lifted or refund you on the order.
We use 1” Heavy Knotted Poultry Netting on our Pens. Not only does this netting work great for keeping wild birds from spreading disease but it is also great at keeping predators out. This is a really strong netting with an 85/245lb per mesh break/burst rating. It is kind of a pain to install and we don’t like to do it often. That’s why we use a highly UV-resistant material to make sure it lasts for a really long time. The pictured netting is almost 9 years old and still extremely strong.
