The Bucking Mini Ranch strives for 100% healthy chicks upon receipt.

If a loss should occur on the replacement order, we will issue you a farm credit for the price of the chick(s). This is in consideration of working with live animals & the occasional delivery route that may not be optimal for their well being.
The Bucking Mini Ranch will not cover losses that occur outside of a controlled environment, such as a broody hens or environmental changes.

Hatching Eggs Policy:

We want our eggs to leave as soon as possible to get to you fresh! It is not uncommon for eggs to be shipped the same day they are collected. We package our eggs securely to prevent breakage or scrambling. Our birds are healthy & produce nice strong eggs that ship extremely well. We test fertility here at our Ranch via incubation, but because of conditions beyond our control (Including USPS handling, fluctuation of temperatures, your incubation practices, etc…) We cannot guarantee development or hatch rates after the eggs have left our Ranch. A fertilized egg can not show development for various reasons including those listed above, & once the egg has been incubated you cannot tell by cracking it that it was an unfertilized egg. We do not ship eggs from our pens without confirming fertility here at the Ranch. Please only purchase hatching eggs from us if you understand our hatching eggs policy! We always recommend purchasing live chicks from us if you want a guaranteed number of live chicks.

**Hatching Eggs will only be shipped during Spring & Summer months due to weather.**
