Birds are to be paid in full at time of purchase includeing shipping price and/or box fee if needed. I require a 50% non refundable deposit for any birds to reserve them which includes shipping cost. If you do not follow though on your end of the deal for any reason I keep the deposit. The only time I hold birds is due to weather if they can't be shipped, If I have to wait on a box to come in to ship or another special reason similar but I will always keep you informed of status. If I cannot uphold my end of the deal your deposit will be refunded in full.
Payment-

shipped birds-
We are PA State Liceanced by the Dept of Ag as Liceansed Poultry Techs. We use biosecurity here therefore we do not allow others to come to the farm to see and get birds or eggs. Any pics I have posted here are my actual breeders or members of my flock and pics I have personally taken. Our flocks are not just a hobby for us they are also our food source as well as our beloved pets and we also show them. Each has a special place in our hearts and is very dear to us. If you live close enough to us we can meet for you to see some of if we have birds for sale to do a local pick up but we will not bring you to the farm due to biosecurity which we feel very stongly about. All other birds for sale will be shipped.
We do everything we can to provide happy, healthy, well loved birds who are feed a well balanced diet. They are kept in clean liveing conditions with plenty of space for them to run and play. My flock has been tested AI and PT negative and eggs and birds will come with the newest test results available however if i forget to give u a copy just email me for a copy of them and i will email a forward to u. most of my breeders have been mereks vaccinated however some i don't know if they have been but we have never had a problem with it and they r all raised on wire. Starting this year we will be doing certain vaccines for our flock and babies hatched, i'll add a blog for that after I know for sure which we will be working with. Spring of 09 I will be doing the bleed work for our birds to be NPIP certified we are looking forward to haveing our flock in this program and can't wait!! We also worm, dust with DE, bath, trim nails ect to ensure proper health for the flock as well and they are feed fresh fruits and greens ect from our gardens during the warmer mths and treats.
Once a bird leaves my property I'm no longer responsible for it. It's up to you the buyer to make sure it is properly cared for it's health and well being. I do not replace or refund for lost birds because plain and simple shipping is extremely stressful on a bird, some can handle it others cannot. Birds will be shipped in usps approved horizon boxes or usps chick boxes. For 24 hours before shipped they will recieve, electrolytes, vitamins in their water and also hard boiled eggs cooked mixed with shells to help give them a boost. They will also be sent with fresh shaveings and fresh fruit for the trip and feed well before they leave. Most times birds ship fine but due to stress, heat or cold ect. there maybe problems during ship please know you assume all risks once they leave my property and are in transit and I'm not responsible for lost or stressed birds.

0 Comments Hatching Egg Policy
I collect eggs several times a day every day. Eggs ship on mon, tues, wed and sat. I have a large family and a large flock of 100+ birds so we constintly have fresh eggs available to us. I will collect up to 3 days no more than 5 if i have a very sm flock of that breed/color before ship day to send. Any eggs I can't ship in that time gets eaten or we hatch for ourselves I don't store eggs.
Fertility is check frequently here weather it be an egg cracked for breakfast we see a bullseye in, a bator test hatch, a bator hatch for us or one of our mommies is brooding. All of out coops have 2-6 roos in each depending on # of hens/pullets to assure best fertility possible and all my roos are 1.5 years old or younger. As soon as an egg is taken from a coop it is either in ink or pencil marked with initials what pen it came from so it is not mixed with any other pens/breed/color. They are stored in a cool place only long enough till the amount needed is collected and shipped immediately. We ship eggs year round weather permitting.
When I ship eggs I wrap each seperate in bubble wrap and place inside a carton with the pointed ends always down to allow the air sacs up for breathablility. if there is not enough eggs to fill all the holes bubble or paper is filled in the empties so none bounce. The carton is taped shut to keep any eggs from bounceing also(trust me I've had eggs leaking out boxes scrambled and it's not very fun due to the top of carton comeing open). All eggs are sent via usps priority mail only I've never had them take more than 3 days to get where they need to. After carton is taped shut on both ends I place in an appropriot sided priority box that allows enough padding the whole way around. I fill it with bubbles, paper, peanuts whater I have on hand or can get. Tape box shut and I ONLY mark FRAGILE or PERISHABLE. Now I have gotten some heat on this from some people because I don't mark hatching eggs, do not x-ray ect. Let me tell ya from my own experience recieveing and shipping your eggs get rough handled less and make it in one piece better and I've had people report better hatch rates dueing it my way. My post office only allows you to write certain things on the boxes or they will not except them simply because most carriers ignore what's writton on it anyways and machine sorters can't read it anyway. They too agree if hatching eggs ect is marked on the boxes they likely will make it to their destinations scrabled or broke. Shipping this method nock on wood I have never had one egg broken in transit.
Shipped eggs are a gamble plain and simple although my hatch rate here is usually 97% or better I cannot and will not garontee ur hatch rate for any reason. To many things can happen in transit, depending on how you care for them and how you incubate ect. With that said all I can do is promise to ship you the freshest fertile eggs(fertile eggs refers to the potential of being fertile since I have several roos in the pen this does not mean every eggs are fertile) possible once they leave my property and are shipped i'm nolonger responsible for them and will not refund or replace them. I will do everything I can to help you get a better hatch rate by doing my part and I always include extra eggs in case some do get broke along the way. if I can't send them in the same color/breed another will be substatute the extras but will be marked so you know(I've only had to do once but ya never know). However you asume all risks after they are in transit. Like I said hatching eggs are a gamble, you have good hatches and bad but don't spend more than you are willing to risk looseing nomatter whose stock it is you are buying........
It is YOUR responsibility to check track #, tell the po to hold the box cause eggs are comeing, listen for the mail truck, order or schedule shiping when appropriot weather on your end, have your bator set a day in advance and ready ect it is not up to the seller to go through hoops around YOU. It is your job to do all these things and to prepare for your eggs that are on the way. I have gotten heat for these things from a few bad apples in the past it is my job to get fresh fertile eggs to you in a timely manor in order payments are recieved and according to my weather and how the girls lay. to provide you with as good or excellent stock and healthy as i can. i cannot and will not replace eggs once they leave my hands and are shipped for any reason my only exception would be if you ordered say like silkies and i accidently sent you polish eggs then yes i would replace them at my cost because it was my mess up.....
