For smaller orders ( less than 8 dozen ) they are sent out Royal Mail Special delivery – they require a signature.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW ~
We can not pass on messages to Royal Mail.
We do not post eggs outside of the United Kingdom.
Please note during lock down i am posting twice a week Monday and Thursday
If you require to receive them on a certain date please let me know and we will do our best to accommodate your request .
Note because of weekend postage you can not receive on a Saturday or Monday
If no one is there to sign they will be returned to your Royal mail local depot.
For larger orders over 8 dozen we send out via courier.
Eggs are not insured via royal mail or courier.
Once posted i am not responsible for Royal Mail actions or if you are not there to sign for them. 
Whilst we make every effort to ensure our eggs are fertile we can not guarantee fertility or a hatch rate.
We have no control over the postal service and indeed the method of incubation you choose.
If you are dis- satisfied with your hatch rate please call us to discuss.
We can offer basic advice on hatching but each incubator is different.
Please rest your eggs on receipt of 24 hours before putting in the incubator.
For advice on incubation it is best to call rather than email.
If you have any issues with the delivery service / and or damaged eggs i need photos as evidence of  damaged packaging , the eggs as you found them and then pictures of damaged eggs-these needs to be emailed to me as soon as possible .
As above eggs are not insured via royal mail , i will replace broken eggs either when you place another order or if you pay for the postage of replacement eggs ( this can be done by purchasing a gift voucher of £10.00 to cover postage and packaging)
We pack the eggs within quail egg boxes with bubble wrap, and then have the egg boxes cushioned with packing peanuts within our specially designed egg boxes labelled fragile sent via royal mail special delivery ( this is the safest way to post fragile items).
We do not use poly egg boxes as this holds the egg still and any movement is centered in the egg damaging the embryo.  

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

• PLEASE CHECK STOCK LEVELS ON THE WEBSITE BEFORE YOU TRAVEL 
• If possible, please buy online for collection, your birds and product will be ready on your chosen day in carry boxes.
• Please do not visit the farm unless you are wanting to purchase anything. 
• It is preferable to telephone for advice after reading our help and advice section this cuts down on face to face contact.
• For purchase of birds here at the farm the team will ‘catch up based on breed’
• It will not always be possible to choose individual birds as catching up particular birds can cause additional stress for the bird and can compromise its welfare.
• We do not sell singular birds and our guarantee does not cover single bird purchases.
