POULTRY ORDERING INFORMATION

Please read entire page before ordering.


Requirements for number of poultry needed in the shipping box to insure safe shipping.

Poultry Shipping Information

Day Olds: We will telephone or e-mail you the day your birds are shipped so it is very important that you include your daytime and evening telephone numbers (if they are different) and your e-mail address on your poultry order form (if you want us to use your e-mail address). We call in the evening to let you know they have been sent and the Postal Service calls during the day to let you know they have arrived at your Post Office. We will basically try to contact you first by telephone and will use the e-mail as a backup contact in case we can't reach you by phone. We do not call if we do not ship.

NOTE: If we are shipping your turkeys anywhere besides Zone "A" on the Zone Code Chart, you MUST request and pay for Express Mail Service. Turkeys are just too fragile to take a chance on them taking three days for delivery.

Canadian Orders

Export charge:  Customs paperwork is expensive. Shipments to a U.S. border Post Office will be available on any of our hatch dates. The cost will be $70.00 extra per shipment for the paperwork involved.

Terms of shipment:  We do not ship to Canadian airports. All Canadian orders must be shipped to and picked up at a U.S. Border Post Office. You will then need to hand carry them across the border. The customs papers will be included with the shipment. All shipments going into Canada MUST be shipped by Express Mail to the U.S. Border Post Office.

A Note About Express Mail Shipping For 2008

The way the U.S. Postal Service handles Express Mail shipping of live animals changed drastically on September 25, 2006. We test shipped some birds to both coasts and to the South - - - all in areas where we had experienced problems with timely arrival of Express Mail shipments earlier this year. All of these shipments were complete successes and received their birds well within the two-day delivery guarantee (some were even delivered the next day after shipping). If shipping continues the way it was going last year, we would definitely recommend that Express Mail Service is back to being a good thing again.
