Sexing Agreement
Sexing birds is hard to do and only 80% accurate. We base this assumption on behavior and feathering. We don’t vet sex any of our birds. If you do end up with a male and wanted a female there are some options: we can offer you 30% credit off the purchase price of your original bird to put towards your Sugar Feather Farm account or a refund of $10 to the original form of payment. Due to biosecurity on the farm and state regulations, we are not allowed to except any birds back. You are more than welcome to order another bird, but shipping rates apply.
Ayam Cemani, Seramas, and Pavlovskaya there are no refunds or credits of any kind.
Silkies are not sexed at all so the sexing fee does not apply.
