We are a small, hobby-based poultry farm run with care, experience, and high welfare standards. Every egg is handled to the best of our ability. However, once eggs leave our hands, several factors are beyond our control.
This policy ensures clear expectations, transparency, and fairness for all customers.
💸 Refunds, Returns & Hatch Responsibility
❌ We do not offer refunds, returns, or guarantees on hatching eggs.
This is due to the unpredictable nature of:
-
Third-party courier handling
-
Individual incubator setups and practices
-
Natural embryo development risks
By purchasing from us, you fully accept that:
-
Hatch success is not guaranteed
-
You are responsible for your own incubation process and results
-
Your experience level does not affect these terms
Even with over 15 years of experience, we cannot guarantee hatch rates.
📦 Responsibility After Dispatch
Once your order is dispatched:
-
Our responsibility is considered fulfilled
-
We have no control over courier handling, delays, or damage
-
Eggs may be affected by transit conditions
We package eggs carefully and professionally, but shipping hatching eggs always carries risk.
🧊 Damaged Eggs in Transit
If eggs arrive damaged:
-
Notify us within 24 hours of delivery
-
Provide clear photos in original packaging before handling
If stock allows, we may offer:
-
Replacement eggs (postage costs apply)
-
OR a small discount code for future orders
⚠️ Please note: Damage in transit is not our fault, but we will try to help where possible.
⚠️ Low Development / Hatch Support
If you experience very low development rates (under ~30%), we may offer a one-time goodwill discount (not guaranteed).
To be considered, you must provide:
-
Photos/videos of your incubator setup
-
Independent thermometer & hygrometer readings
-
Candling photos of each egg (numbered)
-
Group photo with our markings visible
-
Candling dates and total egg count
📩 Send to: farm.m_m@yahoo.com
❗ Incorrect incubation or lack of proof will void this offer.
📦 Postage costs will apply on any future order.
❗️ We Do NOT Refund or Replace For:
-
Postal delays or lost parcels
-
Damage caused during transit
-
Contact made after 22 days from delivery
-
Reports made only after hatch completion without prior notice
Hatch failures due to:
-
Incubator malfunction
-
Incorrect temperature/humidity
-
Poor turning or incorrect settings
-
Incorrect incubation stages
-
