Hatching Egg Policy

By purchasing hatching eggs from FableNest Farms, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms.

1. No Hatch Rate Guarantee

We do not guarantee hatch rates on shipped eggs. While our breeding program, fertility ratios, and incubation systems routinely produce 90–95% hatch rates on-site, outcomes change once eggs leave our control.

Factors outside our control include shipping handling, vibration, temperature changes, incubator performance, humidity, turning practices, and user experience. Once eggs are shipped, all hatch outcomes are the responsibility of the buyer.

2. Our Quality Commitment

We guarantee that all eggs:

  • Are collected fresh
  • Come from properly managed breeding ratios
  • Are handled and stored correctly prior to shipment
  • Are packaged using industry best practices

3. Shipping Damage Policy

If eggs arrive visibly cracked or damaged due to shipping, buyer must:

  • Contact us within 2 hours of delivery
  • Provide clear photos of damaged eggs and packaging
  • Retain all packaging materials

If validated, we will file a claim with the carrier and replace the damaged eggs. No refunds will be issued.

4. No Refunds for Hatch Issues

We do not offer refunds, credits, or replacements for:

  • Low hatch rates
  • Infertility claims after shipment
  • Incubation errors
  • Improper handling after delivery

5. Buyer Responsibility

By purchasing hatching eggs, buyer confirms they understand proper incubation procedures, have appropriate equipment, and accept all risks associated with hatching eggs.

Live Animal Agreement

By purchasing live poultry from FableNest Farms, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms.

1. Understanding of Risks

Live animals carry inherent risks including illness, injury, or death during transit or after arrival. These risks are a normal part of livestock ownership.

2. Live Arrival Guarantee

All birds are guaranteed to arrive alive. If a bird arrives deceased or in poor condition, you must:

  • Contact us within 2 hours of delivery
  • Provide clear photos of the bird and packaging
  • Retain all shipping materials

We will offer a replacement or refund at our discretion.

3. Transfer of Responsibility

Once birds are delivered and accepted, all responsibility for their care, health, and wellbeing transfers to the buyer.

4. Animal Use and Supervision

These are farm animals, not household pets. Buyer agrees that animals will not be handled or cared for unsupervised by:

  • Individuals under the age of 18
  • Individuals unable to safely manage livestock

Buyer assumes all risks associated with handling and ownership.

5. Buyer Competency

By purchasing, buyer affirms they:

  • Have the knowledge to properly raise poultry
  • Have appropriate facilities, feed, and equipment
  • Understand basic care and biosecurity practices

6. Local Laws and Regulations

Buyer is responsible for compliance with all local, state, and federal laws regarding poultry ownership, including zoning and HOA restrictions. No refunds or cancellations will be provided due to non-compliance.

7. No Guarantee of Sex or Color

Unless explicitly stated as sexed or DNA tested, birds are sold as straight run. Color variations may occur due to genetics.

8. Biosecurity

All birds are raised in a controlled environment. Buyer assumes all risk when introducing new birds to an existing flock. Quarantine is recommended.

9. Limitation of Liability

FableNest Farms' liability is limited to the purchase price of the bird(s). We are not responsible for veterinary costs, loss of other animals, or any indirect damages.
