Terms and conditions of trading.
The first thing that we must remember is that we are dealing with nature. We can not take a chick or growing bird off the shelf at any time of the year in the same way you can buy a tin of carrots. Often when people can supply anything at any time, they are dealing & often buy stock from markets and quickly selling it on. We do not sell any birds that have not been bred at Fairlawns Fowl. 

Hatching eggs.
We only sell eggs laid by birds that produce the eggs we set ourselves. We can not guarantee fertility but we believe all eggs to be fertile. The postal process can have an effect on the viability. (Remember an egg can still be fertile but the ability of the sperm to turn in to an embryo can be reduced). Therefore we do not guarantee hatching. We have a tried and tested method packing eggs ready for transport.  Eggs and carriage costs must be paid in full before dispatch - we will contact you to let you know when the eggs have left us.

Live birds.
Live birds are sold on the following conditions. Day old chicks are sold as hatched. That means they are totally unsexed. Birds 7 weeks and upwards, we can usually sex but remember some breeds are more difficult to sex than others. We will always replace wrongly sexed birds with like for like on condition that replacement birds are available. Otherwise we will refund the purchase price. This offer is open for 1 month (28 days) from original purchase and collection.

Health status.
All birds at Fairlawns Fowl are kept under a strict health regime. You must notify us within 24 hours if birds collected from us show any sign of sickness with in the first month. In the unlikely event of death we will need immediate notification and a full veterinary surgeons post-mortem report before any claim can be entered. The above terms will be strictly adhered to. The above conditions do not affect your statutory rights.

All live stock and hatching eggs are subject to availability on date of delivery.
