How do you ship hatching eggs safely?

We ship hatching eggs Monday through Wednesday via USPS in insulated foam shippers with extra padding on both ends of the box to buffer postal handling. This packaging helps protect shells and internal structures, but it cannot eliminate every risk from transport, so we pair it with clear expectations and structured guarantees rather than promising perfect hatch rates.

How does shipping work for live birds and eggs?

Most live birds and hatching eggs ship via USPS using Priority or Express-level services between Monday and Wednesday so they arrive as quickly as possible. We pack birds and eggs in purpose-built boxes with appropriate padding and insulation, and ship during safe weather windows so your order spends minimal time in transit.

Do you ship year-round, even in extreme heat or cold?

Chicks, quail, and hatching eggs can ship most of the year, but extreme summer heat and severe winter cold can add risk, especially for long rural routes. When temperatures make shipping unsafe, we may adjust dates, limit routes, or ask you to confirm you’re comfortable with added risk before we finalize a ship window.

How long will my shipment take to arrive?

Most orders arrive within 1–3 days of shipment depending on your distance from our farms and USPS sorting centers, with many customers seeing delivery the day after we ship. While we choose the fastest options and pack for safety, transit timing is ultimately controlled by USPS, so we cannot guarantee exact delivery times for live animals or eggs.

How quickly can you ship once I order?

Most chick and quail orders ship on our weekly schedule between Monday and Wednesday, with typical delivery in 1–2 days depending on your region. Exact timing depends on breed, season, and your chosen ship window, so product pages show the next available dates and support can help if you need birds by a specific time.
