d~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
eggs price is all inclusive sent via Express Post - pricing is colour dependent
all eggs sent are no more than 5 days old at time of posting
fertility is checked weekly, all eggs collected Monday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon are set for testing,
the test eggs are candled Mondays (day 5), and again at day 10 and day 14 of incubation
orders are only sent out if the fertility shows at a minimum of 95% at candling
this does not guarantee a 95% hatch at the receivers end due to the Aust Post handling, but does give a better chance
of the eggs being viable upon arrival and with careful incubation a reasonable hatch should be expected.
all eggs sent are collected Thursday morning to Monday morning
eggs with visible damage are not sent
they are packed with care as per Stud guidelines and posted Monday afternoon
no guarantee given once eggs leave the Studs possession as it cannot be held responsible for Aust Post handling or the variables of others incubators
