EGGS
LIVE BIRDS
LIVE BIRDS
Eggs are collected fresh and only clean eggs sold. I do not sell eggs over 3 days old for hatching as age can decrease your fertility rates.
Each egg is wrapped individually and carefully packaged to ensure a safe trip. I always include extras to account for any that may break or crack during the shipping process (this is rare as I package them so well). I cannot be held responsible for the way they are handled once they leave my hands. The Post Office has been known to be a bit rough at times, so buyers have the option to have eggs insured before I send them (this is an additional $5-9 depending on how many. Priority shipping is automatically insured for $50 but many orders are worth more than that).
I give a few options when sending eggs:
1. I can send them through the US Post Office (generally the cheapest way), or I can send them through a private company (UPS or FEDEX). Other companies are sometimes less rough, however, the cost is generally a bit higher. Priority is my default method so you must let me know BEFORE shipping if another method is preferred.
2. I only mark the outside of the box as "FRAGILE, THIS SIDE UP". From previous experiences, I have found that unmarked boxes go through the shipping process much better than marked ones. Boxes marked "Hatching Eggs" or "caution, live embryos" sometimes draw negative attention to them. I also do not hold for pick up unless you ask for this option before I ship.

Babies, juveniles, and adults I ship year round as long as the weather is decent on both ends. I will not ship if below 30 degrees or above 90 degrees for the safety of the birds.
For babies there may be a shipping minimum to ensure they can stay warm during shipping so please inquire if interested.
All birds are shipped with an adequate food source to help stay hydrated during shipping.
All express shipments are insured for up to $100. If you would like to request additional insurance please notify me before final payment so it can be added to your total.
Most express shipments are overnight but some locations will take up to 2 days for delivery. A phone number is required for all live shipments as you will be called upon arrival and need to pick your birds up at your local post office. They will NOT be delivered to your door.
