General Ordering and Pickup Information
-
Payment is non-refundable unless live birds become unavailable due to reduced lay, failed hatch, predators, or adverse weather events. In such a case, payment will be immediately refunded in full.
-
Email Notifications: (please ensure your contact information is accurate and legible!
1) You will receive notification when your order is received, stating your place in the hatch line (or waiting list in the case of older birds).
2) You will receive an email when your eggs are placed in the incubator, giving you about one month to prepare for your chicks.
3) You will received an email when your chicks are hatched with the pick up window. Directions to Small Little Farm will be forwarded in the pickup notification.
4)
For those on a waiting list for older birds, you will receive an email when availability can be determined for the current year, yea or nay.
-
All birds must be picked up by appointment at Small Little Farm near Warrenton, VA, within 7 days of notification, unless you have requested a hold. Otherwise your birds will be offered to the next customer in line and you will go to the end of the hatch line. Because I hatch to order, you will not receive a refund if you change your mind and do not pick up your birds. Sorry, I do not ship!
Ordering Poults, Goslings, or Ducklings
-
Please note: Since the breeding stock lives outside year-round, nature controls when they start to lay every year. Supplemental lighting is not used to induce early laying. Generally, PHP turkeys start to lay in the March/April time frame. Geese usually start laying in February. And ducks in Feb/Mar. Incubation takes approximately 28 days.
Note: I usually have a few older or adult birds available each year, but not many and not on a regular basis, as I am set up to breed and offer chicks, not older birds. How to order these older birds is described below.
Ordering Young Turkeys, Geese, or Ducks (<12 Months Old)
-
These are occasionally available in late summer, and can be various ages, around 2-6 months old. If buying a turkey to butcher, note that these turkeys will be probably be too young to butcher until after the next year.
-
This is a waiting list situation. Orders can not be positively guaranteed to be filled; do NOT send payment with your order form. I will let people, who have ordered, know if birds are available or not as soon as I can determine this.
Ordering Adult Turkeys, Geese, or Ducks (>12 Months Old)
Ordering Retired Turkey, Goose, or Duck Breeders
Do NOT send payment with your order form. Payment will be due on pickup.
