Hatch Dates & Shipping
Can my hatch date change?
Yes, hatch dates can sometimes change. We do our best to make sure the hatch date you choose works out, but live poultry hatching can be affected by several factors.
Hatch dates are planned, but not always guaranteed
We try our best to make sure the hatch date you choose works out. However, in the live poultry industry, there are many things that can affect a hatch.
Because we are working with live animals, hatch results can vary from week to week.
Weather
Weather conditions can affect the hatch or shipping plans.
Equipment Issues
Incubator or hatcher malfunctions can impact hatch results.
Hatch Rates
Hatch rates can vary, and sometimes fewer chicks hatch than expected.
How will I know if my order shipped?
If your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email.
If your order does not ship, you will not receive a shipping confirmation email saying it shipped.
What happens if my hatch date changes?
After the hatch, if your order is unable to ship, we will move your order to a new hatch date.
Once your order is moved, you will receive an email with your new hatch date.
What to remember
Please watch your email
If your hatch date changes, email will be the main way we notify you of the new hatch date.
As the saying goes, “Don’t count your chicks before they hatch.” We try our best to plan each hatch carefully, but hatch dates can change when live hatch results do not go as expected.
