Fertilized Hatching Eggs - Terms & Conditions

  • Hatching Egg Policy

    We cannot control the conditions in which our customers incubate the eggs they receive from us. For this reason, we do not take responsibility for poor hatch rates and DO NOT offer refunds nor replacements on eggs that do not develop or do not hatch.

    Please commit carefully when placing a hatching egg order with us. Hatching egg results will range anywhere from 0% - 100%. DO NOT purchase hatching eggs if you are not comfortable with the possibility of a 0% hatch rate. As a reminder: we cannot control shipping conditions, how the eggs are handled outside of our care, conditions in which eggs are incubated, abrupt and unpredicted changes in mating and egg laying, as well as knowing if a particular egg was fertilized at the time of lay.

    We maintain weekly fertility records from all of our breeds by hatching chicks weekly for chick orders, for ourselves, or for future started bird inventory. We do not fill egg orders unless we are recording at least 90% fertility at the time of order fulfillment. Eggs for fulfillment are no more than 3 days post-lay and are carefully inspected for quality, shape and color. Extra eggs of similar breed(s) are added to every shipped order to ensure successful delivery and increase hatchability at no additional cost. Our promise to the customer is to provide, to the best of our ability, quality, fertilized eggs from healthy flocks that have the potential to hatch beautiful, healthy chicks.

    By placing a hatching egg order with us, you acknowledge the inherent risks of fertilized eggs and accept that there is no reimbursement offered for eggs that do not develop or do not hatch.

    To help us monitor our hatching egg successes and failures and potentially improve our hatching egg processes, we appreciate kind and respectful feedback on customer hatching egg experiences. Rude and disrespectful communication regarding hatching egg out comes will not be tolerated and subsequently ignored with customers being added to our "Do Not Sell To" list.
