Shipping Policy

At Eggstraordinary Chicken, we are committed to delivering healthy poultry, fertile eggs, and farm products safely, efficiently, and professionally. Because we specialize in live birds and agricultural products, our shipping procedures are carefully structured to prioritize animal welfare, product integrity, and customer satisfaction.

1. Order Processing Time

All orders are processed within 1–3 business days after payment confirmation.
Live birds and hatching eggs are scheduled based on availability, weather conditions, and animal readiness.
Custom or bulk farm orders may require additional preparation time.
Customers receive a confirmation notification once their order is prepared for shipment.
Orders are processed Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays.

2. Shipping Coverage

Eggstraordinary Chicken currently ships:
Within approved domestic regions
To selected neighboring countries (subject to agricultural regulations)
Bulk farm orders via approved livestock transport partners
International shipping availability depends on import/export livestock regulations, veterinary documentation, and quarantine requirements.

3. Live Bird Shipping Policy

Because animal welfare is our priority, we follow strict poultry transport standards:

  • Age Requirements
    Day-old chicks are shipped within 24 hours of hatching.
    Growers and adult birds are shipped only when healthy and certified fit for transport.
  • Packaging Standards
    Ventilated poultry transport boxes
    Temperature-conscious packaging
    Adequate spacing to prevent stress
    Hydration support materials when necessary
  • Weather Restrictions
    Live birds will not be shipped during extreme weather conditions (excessive heat, cold, storms, or unsafe transport conditions). In such cases, shipments may be delayed for safety.

4. Hatching Egg Shipping Policy

Eggstraordinary Chicken ensures careful handling of fertile eggs:
Eggs are individually inspected before packing
Wrapped securely with protective cushioning
Labeled as fragile agricultural products
Shipped within 3–5 days of collection for optimal fertility
While we use secure packaging methods, hatch rates may vary due to handling during transit, incubation practices, and environmental conditions. Hatch success cannot be guaranteed once eggs leave our facility.

5. Delivery Timeframes

Estimated delivery times:
Local Deliveries: 1–3 business days
Regional Deliveries: 2–5 business days
Bulk Farm Orders: Scheduled based on transport arrangements
Delivery times may vary due to location, regulatory inspections, or transportation conditions.

6. Shipping Fees

Shipping costs are calculated based on:
