Hatching Egg Agreement
PLEASE READ This agreement in its entirety before contacting me about purchasing eggs. I will be asking that each person has read this document and agrees to the terms contained here before payment information is provided, addresses are exchanged, and eggs are shipped.
I will not maintain lists for eggs that are not yet laid, or guarantee to have eggs by a certain date. I offer eggs as each group is laying.
Please do inquire about availability but please do not expect me to predict the future. They lay when they want to and likewise go broody when they want to.
I package with bubble wrap around each egg, eggs placed in a carton, carton wrapped in bubble wrap, double boxed with padding materials to add shock absorption. I will not entertain foam shippers or alternate methods of packing/shipping. I'm using the supplies I've purchased for shipping.
***Hatching eggs are a gamble. I repeat.
HATCHING EGGS ARE A GAMBLE.***
Once eggs leave my hands, they are out of my control. PLEASE do not contact me repeatedly with issues related to USPS.
Additionally, familiarize yourself with policies related to shipping with USPS and the insurance associated with priority mail.
Because there are so many factors that can affect hatch rate, it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to guarantee you will have any live chicks hatch. Transport times, handling by USPS, incubator conditions and incubation methods all affect hatch rate and are out of my control.
*If this is your first time, I will assist you with the methods that I was successful with, but do not change methods mid-incubation process, I can attest this will destroy your hatch rates (speaking from experience on this expensive mistake I made personally).*
Please do not contact me complaining that nothing hatched. This is stressful for me, and of course I want everyone to have a wonderful hatch but I literally cannot replace eggs. I WILL NOT replace or refund hatching eggs. An eggs fertility can not be determined after it's been shipped through the mail. I package each box with extreme care. I almost always send extra eggs to offset all of these factors. I send fresh eggs for higher viability they are packed with lots of padding to reduce impact during travel.
AGAIN, Please do your homework in regards to hatching shipped eggs and the risks associated with them prior to contacting me.
Thank you,
