Shipped eggs are 1–5 days old and packed extremely carefully to protect them during transit.
Can I pick up eggs locally instead of shipping?
Yes! BY APPOITMENT ONLY due to strict biosecurity. Pickup eggs may be up to 7 days old, as they are collected to complete your order. This avoids the stress of shipping or transit time.
How are eggs stored before pickup or shipment?
All eggs are stored points down in a temperature-controlled environment to maintain optimal quality and viability until pickup or shipment.
Live Birds
Do you ship chicks or birds?
Yes or local PA pickup or private transport only. No shipping outside PA at this time.

Are refunds available for live birds?
No. Birds leave here healthy and happy. Transport stress is the buyer’s responsibility.
Do you provide care recommendations for new birds?
Yes. Topical ivermectin is applied prior to leaving. We recommend quarantine, vitamins, electrolytes, and Denaguard for new arrivals. Pullets are not sold into heavy rooster situations.
Biosecurity & Visits
Can I visit your breeding pens or coops?
To protect the health and well-being of our flocks, visits to breeding pens and coops are not open to the public. Strict biosecurity measures are in place to prevent the introduction of disease, which helps keep our birds healthy and our eggs and chicks viable.
Can I schedule a visit?
Absolutely! Visits are by appointment only and generally limited to areas that do not compromise flock health. Tours of general farm facilities (arena, trails, field areas) may be arranged with prior approval.
Why are these measures necessary?
We take pride in that our breeding stock is carefully managed to maintain fertility, health, and quality. Limiting access reduces the risk of disease exposure, protects young chicks, and ensures the long-term sustainability of our flocks.
Reservations & Pickup
Can you hold a bird or eggs for me?
Holds require confirmation with a pickup plan within 24 hours. Unconfirmed holds may be released.
What are the pickup rules?
-
Arrive within 15 minutes of your agreed time
-
Message if running late
-
Repeat no-shows or cancellations may affect future priority
Are prices negotiable?
No. Prices are firm. Raising and caring for our animals takes significant time and resources.
How are photos provided?
Breeder photos are added to albums over time and available upon request. Breeder credit is given when known.
Payments, Chargebacks & Sales Policy
What is your policy on payments and chargebacks?
All sales are final. Once an order or animal is placed, payment is expected to be completed. We cannot accept chargebacks or disputes through your bank or payment provider unless there is a genuine processing error.
What happens if someone violates your sales policies?
Any customer who tries to bypass our policies, initiate unauthorized chargebacks, or sell items/animals purchased from us without permission will be placed on our Do Not Sell list. This helps us protect our birds, eggs, and farm community.
Why do you have this rule?
It ensures fairness for everyone, maintains the health and safety of our flocks, and allows us to continue offering quality animals and eggs to customers who respect our process.
Can exceptions be made?
No—this policy is firm. It’s part of how we manage our farm responsibly and safely for both animals and people.
