Am I Guaranteed To Get The Gender I Selected?Updated 4 months ago

Gender selection is not a perfect science for most of the poultry we offer. Some are easier to determine than others. Some breeds, like the black sex link, are about 99% accurate, while some Marans and Ameraucana can average 80%. However, we do offer a 90% accuracy on our gender selection across all our poultry that offers gender selection purchases.

 If there is an error and we do not live up to our stated guarantee, we will refund the female baby chick purchase price under 90%. In other words, if you have over 10% that are roosters of your female baby chick order, we should be able to refund the female baby price outside of the 10%. If you did receive the wrong sex, claims must be sent directly to us when chicks are not more than 8 months old. We can no longer accept claims when the birds are older than this. 

Our hatchery partners have one of the best-rated and multiple-gender selection methods [is there an overview] in the industry, but again, this is not a perfect science. It is recommended that you give some thought to the possibility of receiving 10% males and what you would need to do under that circumstance. We do not have any guarantees on percentages on males or females for not sexed/straight-run chicks. 

We do not offer gender selection on all the breeds we sell. For some breeds, it is either too hard on them or because the professional sexers’ accuracy is not good enough and would cause customer dissatisfaction. Under no circumstances shall our liability on claims of any kind exceed the total price paid for poultry.
