Adult Breeders
Last updated March 2024
A LIMITED AMOUNT OF BREEDER BIRDS MAY BE AVAILABLE IN 2024
I usually have NO or limited amounts of adult (1+ year old) breeder stock for sale. This is because my breeder birds are my show birds and I try very hard not to keep any extra birds through the winter.
You need to contact me if you are interested in Breeder Birds.

Payments:
If you are interested in purchasing live birds you must contact me before sending payment since prices and availability are constantly changing.
I prefer you pay cash if you are picking up birds from my farm or a show.
I prefer checks and/or money orders for deposits.
For shipped birds I accept PayPal payments, checks, and money orders.
- BIRD ORDERS ONLY: For PayPal payments, there will be a 4% service fee to cover what PayPal charges me to receive payments.
$104.00 through PayPal (100 x 4% = $104.00)) You are always welcome to send
a check or money order.
Live Bird Shipping:
Shipping is only available for young started birds (4+ months old) and some breeder birds. I DO NOT ship outside the Continental US, to Hawaii, or to Alaska. Check with your local post office for specific regulations.
Shipping prices are subject to change due to the USPS changing their prices. Prices on birds do not include the shipping box or Express mail postage cost. You pay the actual shipping price plus the cost of the appropriate shipping box for your size bird and amount of birds.
All birds are shipped via the United States Postal Service (USPS) using their Express mailing service, no exceptions. Spee-Dee shipping services are NOT available for Indiana. Insurance in the amount of $100 will be provided at no fee with every box (NOT per bird). Additional insurance is available upon request and will be an additional charge per USPS prices (which is usually just a couple dollars more).
I ship birds as the weather permits. The USPS will ship lives when temperatures are above 10ºF and below 85ºF degrees. I don't ship if its over 70ºF for day time highs or under 32ºF. Some zip codes are restricted for air flight and ground shipping is sometimes an option. I ship live birds on Mondays and Tuesdays. Since the USPS does not guarantee that live birds will arrive overnight, even when shipped Express be forewarned that shipping is at your own risk but to date we have not had any cases of lost/dead birds. Healthy birds ship very well. Express has guaranteed delivery of 1-3 days for live birds.
It is your responsibility to make sure you can PICK THE BIRDS UP FROM THE POST OFFICE AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE! It is extremely important that you let your post office know in advance that you are expecting a shipment of live birds and that you want to be notified as soon as they arrive. It is your responsibility to make arrangements with your post office about pick up and leaving your phone number with them so they can contact you when the birds arrive. I will email you the tracking number for the package so you can track it online but be warned that the USPS is very bad for not updating tracking information.
You have to provide me with your phone number so I can mark the outside of the box with your phone number in the event the shipping label becomes damaged or is accidentally removed. If there are any weeks you will be out of town and cannot receive birds please let me know ASAP.
I do not replace or send refunds for DOA birds or birds that die shortly after arrival. Claims can be filed for late delivery or dead birds with the USPS. I advise you to open the box in the presence of a postal worker when you pick up your birds. If you cannot get help from your local post office workers ask them for the phone number of the local Consumer Affairs and ask them for help. I will help where I can but I don't have much experience with filing claims with the USPS.
The actual and final amount for postage will be determined when I have picked out your birds because the postage is based largely on weight. Once I’ve picked your specific birds out I will weigh them and I will let you know the total amount for postage that will be due before the birds are shipped. I can estimate a weight pretty accurately because I've shipped several birds.
Please send me your shipping information! When you buy from me I need your name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and email address in order to ship you birds. I will not add your name to my wait list if you do not provide this information to me if you need birds shipped to you!!
Shipping Boxes:
Acquiring the shipping box is my responsibility. However, if you want to purchase your own box and have it shipped to me then you are welcome to do so. I will just need you to let me know you plan on doing that. The price for the shipping box is nonnegotiable and based on the amount and size of your birds. I shop around for the best prices and buy in bulk whenever I can to save. All boxes will be Horizon Micro-environments brand, no exceptions. I will not sacrifice quality when it comes to shipping my birds. It usually takes 7-10 days for me to receive the box(es) from my suppliers.

Pet Quality Poultry
Sometimes I have pet quality stock available. My pet quality poultry usually have comb, color, size, and/or feather defects and do not have serious malformations or physical defects that would prevent them from living a normal healthy life. Pet quality is not show quality and most likely will not produce breeder or show offspring because of their defects.
Pet quality stock are priced at a discount, contact me for prices and availability.
