BIRDS
Show and Breeder Quality Birds
If you are looking for something in particular let us know. We will be taking birds to the shows we attend to sell. After that we will consider shipping. Eggs ship year round weather and birds permitting.
We consider a bird that meets the standard but just doesn't have the show "pizzaz" or at least not yet a "breeder" quality bird. It is always very possible especially depending upon age that one of these birds will mature into something special. A "show" quality bird, is a bird that we would take and show ourselves. Meets all criteria in the standard, plus has that extra special "something" that makes them show material. If you have any question about the quality of a particular bird, please ask and we can discuss it with you in detail.

EGGS
Top Quality Silkie Chicken Eggs
All of our breeder birds originated from two of the top bloodlines in the United States, HatTrick and Stanford (Brown Egg Blue Egg). We mark each egg, so you will know the pen it came from. Our Blues, Blacks and Splashes all have the True Andalusian gene. They all have big gorgeous crests, excellent type, five well spaced toes, and heavily feathered feet. We can't guarantee you will hatch a show bird, but your chances are very good with these bloodlines. They make wonderful pets and have a very sweet disposition.

Delaware Eggs
These birds need our help! They are a wonderful gentle breed that lays a beautiful rich brown colored egg. They are amazing layers and were actually used to create the super layers some of the egg producers use today. Their numbers are very low, so we are hoping to get more people interested in them.

***HATCHING EGG DEPOSIT POLICY***
We require payment in full (including shipping) to be placed in line, or reserve a date for hatching eggs. It is our hope that this will separate the serious buyers from the rest, and alleviate any problems with trying to collect payment last minute while we have time sensitive eggs waiting to be shipped. We are glad to give regular updates as to what position you are in on the list and our best estimate as to when we should be able to ship to you. Please realize that birds are not machines, and they are affected by mood, weather and hormones which we have no control over, so our estimate may be off if someone decides to stop laying. We also try to be careful about shipping in extreme weather either hot or cold, so that may affect your package as well. We will gladly refund your money in full if we cannot for some reason ship within 6 weeks of payment. Please know that if we have not received payment from you, then you are not "officially" on our prebook list. When some breeds book up, we might take names for a waiting list to be contacted in the event we have more eggs available. Our PayPal address is: featheracrescait@yahoo.com. Thank you for your understanding. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this policy.
