A. Our policy is 5-7 weeks to process in season. We are not a hatchery but a farm who takes special care of our fowl. So when a customer places that order we will start to work on that order, and we typically don’t have stock readily available. So this means for hatching eggs we assess the orders already placed and determine when we can fill it then work on collecting eggs. For babies we set the eggs then it will take at least 22 days till hatch ( quail/20 duck/turkey/guinea 29, goose 34). Then we give them a week to acclimate. If there are orders ahead those will be filled first. For fully feathered it is those days plus the typical 5-8 week growing period , so roughly 3 months. Some products are backordered and we indicate this clearly on the website.
For Spring 2021 (Season March-May)
All the above apply, however our hens generally start laying in March , this means we wont have chicks till April. We go in orders received so if you have pre-ordered yours will be filled first . The general timeline above applies but can be extended if there are already orders in place or we have a bird that is in higher demand (Ayam Cemani, Polish, Serama, Icelandic). You can request in the notes section of your order if you would like your order later, we can generally accommodate.
For Summer 2021 (June-August)
All information in “when will my order be ready” applies. If we have some orders that are still pending for Spring, those will be filled first.
For Fall 2021 (September-November)
All information in “when will my order be ready” applies. If we have some orders that are still pending for Summer, those will be filled first.
