Backcross olive eggers are how we get the beautiful deep shades of olive. Only dark laying olive hens are used. Our hens also often have speckles and blooms. They are crossed back to Black coppers marans, chicks typically hatch in black or blue. With back crossing to marans, there is always a chance once laying that the egg is dark brown not olive.
Chick RETURN/REFUND POLICY
Hatching Eggs have a no return or refund policy. We do guarentee our eggs are fresh an fertile. Fertality is checked from each pen on a regualr basis to ensure roosters are doing their "job". What happens with USPS when eggs leave our hands is out of our control. This includes any delay. Standard shipping is USPS 1-3 day priority with $100 Insurance (doesnt cover your shipping fees). If you have a damaged package, please take pictues of any damage and check the packaging as soon as you pickup. You will have to file a claim with USPS online to cover that but it does not cover a delay in transit with the priority shipping. When purchasing hatching eggs you are accepting that they are a gamble and we do no guarentee your hatch rate nor how USPS will handle/deliver your eggs.
If for some reason beyond our control that we cannot fill your order, you will be issued a refund. Please email us or contact on Facebook if you have any questions or concerns with ordering hatching eggs.Standard Shipping is USPS Priority 1-3 days with $100 insurance.
Chick Shipping Info & Live Arrival Guarantee
Chick Shipping is USPS Priority Express 1-3 days with $100 insurance included. USPS is required to move these packages as quick as possible but we cannot control what happens when its handed over to our local PO. If your subtotal order is over the $100 you may email us and ask to be invoiced for more but this is an extra cost to you. USPS only covers the subtotal up to $100 insurance and not shipping cost.
We will request for the PO to hold your pakage so please leave your phone number for USPS to contact you for pickup. This is also not a guarentee unless it is upgraded and paid for with the shipment. It's just a request we make. We will package with 72 hr heat packs, grogel and label each box to the best of our ability to insure safety of your chicks. If you have a tracking number that has not been scanned or has not moved locations for 12 hours PLEASE go directly to your local post office and ask to speak with the Post Master. The post master at the destination can see additional tracking information, the intended path of the package, and can and will call the managers at the distribution centers to track down your box. All claims will need to be filed online and all tracking information will be emailed to you as soon as it is shipped.We do have a live arrival guarantee for the first 24 hours. You must receive the package from the Post Office within 2 hours of notice of arrival and place them under heat with hydration immediately. Should your birds not arrive happy, healthy, and vital please send photo documentation of both living and perished/compromised chicks and we will refund you an adjustment per bird. Deceased chicks must be reported immediately (same day) and all deceased chicks must be in one photo. This is mandatory and non-negotiable.
Very rarely, an entire box of chicks can suffer a misfortune during travel. If your box is damaged, delayed beyond 72 hours, or suspected to include fatalities, please open the box in the presence of post office staff or your local postmaster and ask for their documentation in addition to your photos taken on site. Successful post office insurance claims are increasingly rare these days, and major losses must be documented at your local post office. A post office refund on postage when there are major losses helps us stay in business, so please do communicate with your local post office and get them to document a damaged/perished/very late arrival. It is extremely costly to ship a new box to you without the post office postage fee refunded.
Generally speaking, we refund rather than replace individual chicks under the live chick arrival guarantee. In the exceedingly rare event of a total loss, it is our goal to work you back into the shiplist, though perhaps at the end of the season.
We take great pride in the health and vitality of our flock, and we reserve the right to delay your targeted shipment date for unforseen circumstances that are likely to cause shipment delays such as a major weather event, extreme temps, transportation company strikes, or social unrest. We also reserve the right to cancel your order for reasons we determine to be in the best interest of our small business.
NOTE: DO NOT mix our chicks with other chicks on your premises. We cannot and will not refund or replace chicks that perish after being merged with other chicks you’ve received from other breeders or hatched from your pens. Chicks from different lines do not share the same immunity, and mixing chicks that all appear healthy and vital can and will cause death for the following reasons: (1) overcrowding and bullying of food, water, heat resources in brooders with different aged chicks, (2) debilitating disease via exposure to fecal material or bedding carrying coccidiosis or other unknown poultry diseases that our birds do not have immunity to.
Chicks even just a day or two younger placed into a brooder are not as strong as their older and stronger brood mates. The older and stronger brood mates will steal early nutrients at a critical stage of development. Don’t do it.
Merging apparently healthy chicks with other apparently healthy chicks means you are exposing both sets of chicks to things you may not know you have. For instance, your chicks may have generational immunity to the coccidiosis living in your soils, and will appear healthy with no symptoms in your brooder. Your new chicks do not have that same immunity, and deserve some time to recuperate from shipment and build strength after shipment before being exposed to what is endemic in your line via fecal droppings in the brooder— yes even a clean brooder!
Healthy chicks WILL fail to thrive for these reasons, and if you mix your chicks from multiple breeders along with your chicks you will not be able to trace where the problem came from if issues arise. Don’t do it.
Biosecurity is crucial. Keep your flocks closed, plan for new additions, quarantine new birds until you’ve established their health and vitality (whether you hatch from eggs or receive chicks), and don’t introduce new birds to your existing birds until they are strong and healthy growouts ready to graduate from the brooders.
We cannot and will not refund or replace chicks that (naturally) lacked immunity to issues in your brooders or on your land such as coccidiosis, Marek’s, respiratory disease, or other misfortune due to temperature regulation, access to feed or water. The health of the chicks and the biosecurity of their environment is your responsibility once they arrive.
