💛 A Personal Note from Me


Over 90% of my flock started from shipped hatching eggs. Some breeds were easier to hatch than others, and no two packages ever looked the same—but most were packed with care, and the results were worth every bit of the wait.

Yes, shipping eggs comes with risks—but for me, the rewards have far outweighed them. Every breed I’ve brought in, from my Pita Pintas to Deathlayers, Appenzeller Spitzhaubens, Lakenvelders, and more, has its own story and purpose here.

I've worked hard to build a flock that’s not just beautiful, but meaningful—and I’m truly excited to share a piece of that with you.

📦 Shipping Notes
We ship hatching eggs on Mondays and Tuesdays to help ensure they arrive quickly and avoid delays over the weekend. Please note that availability may shift due to weather conditions, laying patterns, and seasonal demand—we appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

🥚 Fertility Disclaimer
We routinely check fertility in our breeding flocks and handle eggs with care to give you the best chance at a successful hatch. However, we cannot guarantee hatch rates once eggs are shipped, as variables like postal handling and incubator conditions are beyond our control.

📬 Delivery Preference:

Please indicate your preference for delivery:  Holding at the post office is often safer for hatching eggs, especially in extreme weather.

🌦️ Weather & Postal Handling Disclaimer
We take great care in packing each order securely using materials designed to protect your eggs in transit. However, once your package leaves our hands, we are not responsible for how it is handled by the postal service or for any damage caused by extreme temperatures during shipping.



To help reduce risk, we recommend selecting “Hold at Post Office” as your delivery preference, especially during periods of high heat or cold. Please understand that purchasing shipped hatching eggs always involves some level of risk, and hatch rates can be affected by factors beyond our control.

Availability & Wait Times


Due to seasonal laying patterns and high demand, some breeds may require a short wait before shipping. To help us plan and prioritize orders fairly, please select the maximum amount of time you're willing to wait for your hatching eggs below.

We aim to ship within the timeframe you select and will reach out if any unexpected delays occur. Orders are filled in the order they are received, and we always include 1–2 extra eggs when available to help offset any shipping or incubation losses.

Agreement & Disclaimer Acknowledgment

Please read and confirm the following before submitting your reservation:

  • I understand that availability may vary and there may be a waiting period of 1–4 weeks, depending on breed, laying patterns, and demand.

  • I understand that hatching eggs are a non-refundable item due to their time-sensitive and fragile nature.

  • I understand that while eggs are securely packaged, hatch rates are not guaranteed due to factors outside the seller’s control, including postal handling and incubation conditions.

  • I acknowledge that extreme weather can affect egg viability, and I am encouraged to choose “Hold at Post Office” for added safety during shipping.

  • I understand that 1–2 extra eggs may be included when available to help offset possible losses.

  • I have read the Shipping Notes, Fertility Disclaimer, and Weather Policy, and I accept the risks involved with shipping hatching eggs.

  • Payment required prior to shipping. If payment is not received within 24 hours, we will move to the next person on the wait list. We accept Venmo & PayPal.
