*FULFILLING ORDERS* 

• Orders are filled based on date they are received, first come first serve basis. WE PICK UP ALL CHICK ORDERS ONCE PER WEEK FROM THE BREEDER, AND BRING THEM TO THE ADDRESS LISTED ON YOUR ORDER. 
• We will typically reach out before your order is ready - for those receiving baby chicks, this will give you ample time to set-up your brooder or incubator. 
• If you will be out of town, please leave a note (on the checkout page) of the dates that do not work for delivery, and we can schedule around those dates.
• Please keep in mind, although Sunshine Gardens has  a wonderful, high quality breeding program, they are working with LIVING CREATURES. We can only offer what they produce and nothing more. 

*FINE PRINT*

• Sunshine Gardens Poultry sells their baby chicks as straight run, meaning they could be male or female but cannot determine at birth.  

• For those wanting to ensure a flock of only hens, we recommend considering sex-linked breeds, which are feather sexable at birth, or older chicks that are 6+ weeks old .

• By purchasing from us, you acknowledge and accept this risk as part of buying live poultry. Thank you for understanding!

• We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or guarantees on the sex of any chick.
