Important notes about our hatching eggs:
We will do our best, with the cooperation of the hens, to include additional eggs when available.
Hatching out eggs that have been shipped is a gamble! If you are not willing to take the risk, please do not purchase! Rough handling of the boxes can occur at any point in shipment, damaging air sacs, breaking eggs, and in some cases destroying entire shipments. We are not to be held responsible for those sorts of damages and cannot replace eggs damaged in this manner. We can only guarantee that each egg is carefully marked, carefully wrapped, carefully packaged, and shipped as promptly as possible after collection. We do not ship old eggs, and we do not ship the first pullet eggs. Eggs are gathered daily and marked while still standing in each and every breeding pen. There is no danger of any of our roosters or hens "hopping a fence" or any such calamity, as each breeding group is in their own individual 6 foot tall pen that includes a wire roof over each and every pen. Our birds are far too valuable to practice "free ranging", so no surprises there, either. We do not sell randomly mixed breeds, and you will find no mixed breeds in our hatching eggs. If purchasing eggs from some of our project pens, that information will be clearly stated for your choices, and the eggs will be clearly marked for your sorting/hatching needs.


CHICKS - what is available right now

Chicks are available starting in March or April of each year - subject as always to the hens and their desires to provide potential acceptable progeny in a timely manner, and of course dependent upon weather conditions on both ends of their route
We ship chicks that are 1 to 4 weeks old, as we have found they handle the rigors inflicted by the shipping process from our rural area much better than day-olds. This age also allows us to cull out any weak and/or obviously inferior chicks (for example, you will NOT receive clean-legged Marans chicks from us, nor crooked toes or deformed beaks on any chick! All Sultans will have 5 toes on each foot!) prior to shipment to better assist the survival rate and of course increase your satisfaction.

Shipments of chicks of this age will be straight run only, no sorting and no guessing as to what sex they may be. If ordering a mixture of breeds, each chick will be marked so that you can easily discern which breed is which.

Minimum order is 6 chicks.

We ship chicks March through November, weather permitting - only if the temperatures are unusually cool will we ship in July or August.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

PLEASE CHECK YOUR STATE AND LOCAL LIVE BIRD SHIPPING REGULATIONS BEFORE YOU PLACE AN ORDER! We ship only to the contiguous 48 states, and only to those states/locations that allow live bird shipments, and do not require testing beyond the standard NPIP tests. It is your responsibility to dig up this information. We will NOT be held responsible for chicks/birds that are undeliverable due to your state and/or local post office regulations.

Size of bird(s) will determine the size of bio-secure shipping container that will be required for your purchase, and the cost of that container will be included in your invoice.
All birds are shipped with a snack geared to the age of the birds and the distance they must travel. They are very well fed and watered prior to going into their travel container, as all birds receive special feeding the week before they are shipped, including extra vitamins, electrolytes, and extra protein.

Potential Canadian Customers - we are working with an individual that can legally import your favorite rare breeds in to Canada. Contact us for details! We recently exported a group of rare Isbars to Canada!


Waltz's Ark is a participant in the NPIP Program - certified by the State of Colorado as Avian Influenza Free as well!!!


We accept PayPal for deposits and payments


Official PayPal Seal

Please contact us prior to making any PayPal payment or for information about paying by check or money order


We reserve the right to refuse any sale. We reserve the right to change the price of eggs, chicks, and/or birds through the year (although any reservation will be filled honoring the price at the time of the reservation) as circustances warrant (ie the continued increases in feed costs!). We reserve the right to limit the number of chicks/birds/eggs as necessary to protect the quality of the rare breeds we produce.


Have you been searching for an easy way to mark your chicks as they hatch? Zip ties are a pain to put on wee freshly hatched chicks, to say the least! We found someone selling a product that has solved our issues with baby identification - rubber leg bands that come in several sizes and 6 bright colors. What a life saver! We switch to colored zip ties when the chicks outgrow the largest rubber band size. Please Contact Sheryl Allred for more information at sallred2@yahoo.com - Happy Hatching!
