Shipping Information

We are NPIP Certified PT Clean and ship both eggs and day-old chicks, with the minimum of 6 chicks. There is no minimum for eggs. Shipping for eggs is $35 for a dozen and $40 for 2-3 dozen. Shipping for chicks is $65. We require payment via PayPal or Venmo the day prior to shipping.

For PayPal, please pay an additional 2.9% + $.30 for the "goods and services" fees. Please make sure the address you want them shipped to is the address you have on your PayPal account. We also need your phone number (so the post office can call you for pickup).

For Venmo, there are no additional fees. Please make sure to send us a private message or email with your shipping address and phone number (so the post office can call you for pickup).

We DO NOT ship to Alaska and Hawaii due to their CVI via Vet requirements. HOWEVER, if you would like to pay for the vet appointment and fees, we would be happy to go through the process for you.

We DO NOT ship CHICKS to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississipi, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, or West Virginia due to their AI (Avian Influenza) testing requirements. We CAN still ship EGGS to these states.

We DO work with transport services.

Please do your research on hatching eggs before purchasing. A successful hatch rate with shipped eggs is considered 50% at best. We do not guarantee hatchability or take any responsibility for damage due to conditions beyond our control during shipment or with buyers' hatching equipment or methods used.

There is inherent risk when shipping eggs and chicks, and all buyers must be aware of this before ordering hatching eggs or chicks. We do not give refunds on hatching eggs or shipped chicks, no exceptions. By ordering, you are acknowledging that you have read and agreed to these terms and conditions.

Shipping Tips and Tricks

Eggs: When you receive your eggs via shipping, we recommend candling them to check for cracks and then letting them sit at room temperature (pointy side down) for 24 hours before setting them in an incubator. This allows the yoke to settle, the air sac to stabilize, and for the eggs to acclimate to the correct temperature. We also recommend not turning the eggs in the incubator for the first day and waiting to candle until day 7. The first week is the most important for development and handling during this time could compromise it.

Chicks: Make sure to have your brooder setup before your chicks arrive. It's especially important to make sure their heat source is working properly. When you receive your chicks at the Post Office, do NOT open the box until you get home. They need to stay as warm as possible to survive. When you get home, immediately introduce them one at a time to their water source. We recommend mixing in Poultry Nutri-Drench into their water for the first couple of days to give them a boost to help them recover from their journey. When they have hydrated, tap on their food source so they know where to get their first meal. Give your chicks 24hrs to settle into their new home before handling them. I know it's hard to resist, but we want to minimize the stress as much as possible!
