Frequently Asked Questions
• Do you have a waitlist?
I do not have a waitlist. I do not do preorders.
• How do I place an order?
I post availability when I have availability. I hatch and test fertility year round. As a breeder, I need to always be sure I have enough chickens for future breeding. I aim to post on Sundays at 2pm eastern time and sometimes during the week (Wednesdays around 2pm eastern time). I only sell eggs that are no more than 3 days old.
• Can I request certain egg colors or breeds?
No. Each dozen that is posted, is what you will receive.
• I want a full dozen of welsummer hatching eggs, when will you have some available?
Please follow our Facebook page for updates. Its hard to put a date on something when I am depending on nature. I hatch for myself year-round.
• I will pay you any amount of money to get your next welsummer hatching dozen, will you let me know when you have some available?
I post all availably weekly on our Facebook page. I am unable to reach back out to everyone who inquires about a certain hatching egg dozen. (I have dedicated years of hard work into my farm, and getting my genetics where I wanted. You do not want to know the price tag I would put on an advantage like that, especially when there are people who wait until there's available welsummer hatching dozens posted.)
•Do you offer half dozens?
We do not. We only offer full dozens.
•Do you have speckled egg hatching dozens?
Yes. Some eggs you receive in the dozen may not have speckles on them, but the offspring will hatch with a speckled egg gene.
•If I get 3 hatching egg dozens, can you ship them in the same box?
No. Our shipping boxes and materials can only safely fit 14 eggs per shipment. Each dozen requires a $35 shipping fee added.
•Do you ship chicks?
2025 I will not be shipping chicks. Chicks are local pickup only.
•Are your Silverudds blue egg gene tested?
Yes. Our Silverudds have been tested though IQ Bird Testing and are 100% homozygous (certified OO)
•Do you ship to other countries?
Unfortunately we cannot. We only ship within the United States.
•How often do you check fertility?
I check fertility through out the year.
•Can I tour your farm?
Due to bio-security regulations, we cannot allow tours of our property. Diseases can be carried on the bottoms of shoes and can contaminate our flock, so we do our best to keep any visitors picking up chicks to not walk around.
•Do you sell laying hens?
We do sell laying hens. However, availability is very limited. Follow us on Facebook to get weekly updates of our current availability, which sometimes includes laying hens. We do not ship laying hens.
