If you want freshly hatched chicks:
- You can place a preorder or wait for a Saturday Sale when I usually have chicks available for same day pickup no preorder needed.
- If you preorder they must be picked up on the availability date listed in your order confirmation for the freshly hatch chick price. Technically they are usually about 3-5 days old at this point.
- If you want chicks from 2 different hatch dates perhaps a week apart, but want to pick them all up at the same time, just note that on your order and I will let you know what I can do.
- Baby birds are very sensitive and delicate and can die for various reasons due to no fault of you or I. Koops Coops is different then other farms in that I will replace your chicks if they die within 3 days of purchase. No refunds and large fowl chickens only.
If you want 2-3 month old pullets:
- Note at 4 weeks old chicks are fully feathered and moved out into a coop without heat. At 3 months old they are ready to integrate with older girls.
- Review the hatching schedule and add 2 months to any chick date and that is when I can have pullets of that breed. However, I place special orders all the time. If you want certain breeds at a certain time, let me know and I will see what I can do. If your ordering 5 breeds I have posted for a date and you want one other breed not listed for that date, I maybe able to get it added or pull that single breed from the previous weeks hatch for example. I will try my best to come up with a plan that works for both of us.
Placing an order:
- After reviewing the hatching schedule, add the birds and ages you are looking for to your cart and prepare to checkout.
- If you have any trouble finding or adding a bird you would like, or if it is late in the season and the hatching schedule is no longer posted, please submit a REQUEST FORM instead and I will take care of it.
- Orders can be submitted without making a deposit but birds will not be held until a deposit is made.
- For Venmo the deposit is 50% with a maximum of $100.
- For PayPal or Credit Cards, I can’t make the website charge $100 maximum so it will charge 50% plus a small non-refundable payment processing fee defined before checking out. (Generally 5% or $5)
- For fastest order processing and best chance at getting the pickup date and breeds you want, make a deposit after submitting the order. Then when I manually process the order, usually within 24-48 hours, you will receive a FINAL CONFIRMATION email with a pickup date and your birds will be held.
- If the Final Confirmation has any major differences from your requested order, email me back and I will see what I can do or you can request a refund of your deposit.
- If you reference the hatch schedule and are preordering chicks or 2-3 month old pullets then things should not change during processing. But if I need to pull some birds from a previous hatch then pricing will update while it is being processed (usually $5 per week). If a breed has sold out, I will provide you a new list to choose from but I will also hold the others you requested while you decide.
