Tired of hatching and brooding and want to just start with girls and eggs? That would be so nice! I will ship you sexed birds and old enough to go straight into your covey.
Pharaohs are easily feather sexable, jumbo sized, lay large eggs with proper nutrition and very docile. jumbo
Egyptians are the blond cousins to the pharaohs. They are also feather sexable, jumbo, lay large eggs, docile and have the roux gene which makes them look blonder., jumbo
Celadons are the blue egg laying birds. They can have any plumage color and mine are typically tuxedo, meaning brown and white.
Fee is a feather sexable, black & white bird., jumbo
Hen’s Choice means I choose for you! They can be any color.
Egyptian Fee are Egyptian +Fee, they are light colored Egyptians, feather sexable, jumbo
Pearl Fee are Fawn+Fee, White with black specks, feather sexable, jumbo
Grau Fee are EB+Fee, Black with white lines, not feather sexable, jumbo
The hens will be shipped at 5-8 weeks of age, tuxedos are not feather sexable and I have to grow them a bit longer til they are mature. I will wait for the celadons to lay to confirm blue egg before shipping.
Live birds are required to be shipped USPS Express mail in a certified box. I will hydrate them all day and deliver to the post office about an hour before the express van picks up. While they will not guarantee overnight, in my experience it has been 24 hours or less. I will include grogel and feed for them. I am NPIP tested and I can ship birds. The shipping and box price will be figured on your location at checkout.
The box will hold 4-6 birds, please make separate orders if ordering more. A 4 bird minimum is required.
After ordering, you will receive a few emails, one will be from mewhen your order is scheduled.
Make sure to put your phone number at checkout, the USPS will call you when birds arrive.

While I do hatch weekly, I only have so much space. Expected wait times can be found on the policy page.

All birds are shipped Priority Express by USPS. This is the only way to legally ship birds. I use approved shipping boxes (that I also sell here). Each box has grogel ( a hydration gel), shavings and feed.
I drop them off at the USPS minutes before the truck picks up to limit box time as much as possible. Typically my orders have arrived 22-48 hours later.

We do not have a guarantee, however, we will do a USPS claim and work with you to resolve the matter in a fair outcome.

Express shipping is expensive but it is figured per address at checkout. Generally it is $50-$100 per box, west coast being the most expensive.
Precise cost is figured at checkout by the USPS calculator.

Chicks are shipped at 7-10 days
Mature birds are shipped at 5-8 weeks of age. We try to get them out before point of lay to not disrupt the laying cycle. Celadons are the only caveat, we have to wait on sexual maturity to accurately sex the birds.
