Hatching Eggs

We guarantee the same fresh eggs that produce our chicks for our customers. We participate in the National Poultry Improvement Plan of the United States Department of Agriculture. We do not guarantee your hatchability or health of chicks due to many issues out of our control once the eggs leave our facility. Eggs should be incubated within 1-2 days of arrival. Please have your incubator running at least three days in advance of an anticipated date of arrival to ensure that your incubator is running correctly.

Hatching eggs are shipped on Fridays and are usually shipped the 1st Friday after receiving the order. If you are not wanting immediate shipment on the next 2 Fridays, then please note in comments your future desired ship date.

Our fertile hatchery eggs are NOT insured by the United States Post Office. We are paying for a delivery receipt on the shipment, so you will need to be available and home to sign the delivery receipt. Before signing, open the box to see if any eggs are broken. If any are, please note it on the delivery receipt and call us within 24 hours. For damaged eggs we will do a ONE time reshipment and we will not refund or replace after the ONE-time reshipment. Customers order at their own risk and will depend on the post office for safe delivery and being home to sign the delivery receipt.
