| **PLEASE NOTE** We currently DO NOT ship chicks to SD and Hawaii due to strict state regulations, special permits, red tape, and expense. Sorry! Shipped Chicks Terms We are NPIP certified in the state of Ohio. Most of our day old chicks ship on a pre-sale basis. We hatch chicks weekly and ship Monday - Wednesday The minimum chicks per order for shipping is 15, this can be a combination of different breeds. ******We reserver the right to refuse chick or egg sales at our discretion****** NO ORDERS ARE VALIDATED WITHOUT PAYMENT We will give you an approximate date that birds can ship on when your order is paid, but please be aware that we are working with living products. There are many variables, shipping dates are approximate and on occasion we may have to change a shipping date. If you need your birds by a certain date, feel free to request it on your order. We will do our best to meet your request. We will include extra chicks in case there are any lost during shipping. If you suffer a loss of more than the extra chicks we have included please contact us immediately so we can take care of the problem. Chick Guarantee: Chick Guarantee: You must take a camera with you to the post office to pick up your chicks. Open the box at the post office and take pictures of any losses - (this step is very important to receive a refund for any losses). Have a postal worker document the amount of chicks lost. lPlease contact us immediately with information and pictures of any losses. No refunds will be issued after 48 hours. Chicks will only be reshipped if more than 1/2 of your order is lost. We do try to add FREE extra chicks when available but they may not always be of the chick breed that you ordered. Cancellations are subject to a 25% cancellation charge. There are no refunds once the eggs are set. In the event that we can not fill your order you will receive a full refund. _________________________________________________________ HOW TO PLACE YOUR ORDER __________________________________________________________ You can email your order to us at Sales@TheFancyChick.com Please include breed, quantity, your name, address, phone, email address (PayPal email address) and date you would like to receive your order.

| Egg prices include shipping, minimum egg order is one dozen (12) and can be mixed between several different breeds. While our fertility rate is excellent and we hatch these same eggs weekly, we can not guarantee your hatch rate due to all the variables with shipped eggs: Extreme temperature change (freezing the embryo) , Rough handling of the package during shipping (causing damage to the air sack), X-raying the package by the postal service Distance the eggs have to travel (the more miles you increase the more percentage of hatch you could decrease) Not to mention the delicate incubation process. The bottom line is shipped eggs are always risky and we can not guarantee your eggs will hatch. Although we wrap each egg individually and cushion the inside of the box, we have no control over what happens to the eggs once they have been shipped. If you are not willing to accept that risk, we suggest ordering chicks. _____________________________________________ We welcome questions! Please don't hesitate to ask. |
| Our minimum chick order is now 12 for LF shipped day-old chicks We do not have a 'store front' and are a privately owned farm. We encourage shipping instead of chicks picked up at the farm. If you are local and want to pick up your chick order they can be picked up by appointment only and must be picked up within 3 days of hatching. We do not give tours or allow visitors in our poultry breeding area due to NPIP regulations. |
