Hatching eggs are no more than 3-4 days old when shipped. Each egg is carefully candled and only those with small strong air sacks are sent. Eggs are packaged in high-quality custom foam packaging and then double-boxed for safe shipping. All eggs are shipped via UPS or Fed Ex 1-2 day shipping. Aditionally, 1-2 Extra eggs per dozen are usually sent.

We will refund you for eggs broken during transport or send more eggs if a large percentage of eggs have broken. The same applies for eggs lost or severely delayed during transport. If you have a terrible hatch let us know, we will in most circumstances provide more eggs or pro rated discounts.

Please note that mixed or incorrect breeds do tend to pop up from time to time when purchasing hatching eggs. We will provide a pro rated refund for any such eggs.

Please also note that while our birds can win shows sometimes, our breeding is more utility than show-focused. Getting show-quality stock cannot be guaranteed to those purchasing poults or eggs.

Our line of Standard Bronze was purchased by Frank Reese as a child. He has shepherded and improved it ever since.

While we were hoping to also have Blacks and Narragansetts available for sale this year, sadly the farmer housing those 2 varieties for our retail production got hit with bird flu. We are rebuilding both lines as well as several other breeds and plan to have additional varieties of poults and hatching eggs available in 2026.
