Before You Order:
We start preparing your hatch as soon as your order is confirmed. That means reserving incubator space and putting your hatch on the schedule.
If you cancel more than 3 weeks before your scheduled ship date, there’s no fee and we’ll issue a full refund.
If you cancel within 3 weeks of your scheduled ship date, a $10 non-refundable prep fee will apply. At that point, your eggs have likely already been set, and we’ve invested time and resources into your hatch.
We’re not a factory farm and every chick matters. Thanks for understanding and helping us do this the right way.
Note: This only applies to
chick orders.
