Humidity In Your Coop - Its Critical For Healthy Chickens

Poultry will be inspected before purchase by me personally.  By my purchase of chickens, I agree fully 100% that they are satisfactory to me at the time of purchase and in good health. The chickens are sold to me "AS IS" and I must provide proper care for them to remain healthy. 

There is a "learning curve" to growing and raising chickens.

All customers get a free setup phone call with their purchase. We want to be sure that you are getting your brooder or coop set up correctly from the very first day. 

By (our inspection and your inspection) and your acceptance and purchase of the poultry, you the buyer acknowledge that the limitations and disclaimers herein set forth are conditions of the sale, and constitute the entire agreement between the parties. The seller warrants that the poultry purchased will be in good condition, so far as can reasonably be determined, at the time of the inspection and pick up by seller, who has exercised flock control, production, (including established sanitary and disease control standards) generally accepted in the industry. It is understood, agreed, and considered reasonable that THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE POULTRY THAN THOSE SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANT OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE POULTRY.  

A Chicken Farmer's 2 cents: 

WHY do we sell live chicks and chickens AS- IS? 

When you leave with your new pets to take them home we do not know if your dog played "fetch" with your pet. 

Or, your child flushed the chick in the toilet? Or was the temperature off in your coop or brooder? Did a predator attack your chicken? Are you using the correct amount of medicines, parasite products, or de-wormer? Did the bedding in your coop come from a package that contains chemicals or bugs/mites that can make chickens sick? Is there any ventilation and enough airflow in your coop? Did the temperature drop 30-50 degrees at night? Was there a flash flood in your coop and standing water? Were your chickens overhandled? Is your coop doors closed? no windows? Is the temperature too hot? These events/things will cause chickens to become ill or worse!

This does N-O-T entitle you to FREE chickens! 

The fact is: you may not know these things are bad for chickens if you are learning your new hobby - THERE IS A LEARNING CURVE TO RAISING CHICKENS

(Yes, all these things can and have happened and customers call me for more FREE CHICKENS) 

Somehow there are a few people that do not understand the words "live poultry is sold as is" 

So what do "eggperienced" poultry people do when faced with a problem? They understand these facts and simply take care of small problems and injuries but replace chickens that become attacked by predators or severe illnesses.

You can be sure that your Grandparents did not spend $300 to cure a sick Chicken! They simply hatched more to replace the ones that are damaged or become ill as needed and when needed.

My best advice is to READ THIS PAGE and understand that ALL CHICKENS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED OVER TIME

Becoming angry at Mother Nature (or me) and taking your pet chicken to the veterinarian, then spending $300 OR MORE $$$ on your hen will only make you MORE ANGRY and then you will feel entitled to "free chickens" 

Basic backyard hatchery stock & poultry diseases GREAT INFORMATION! PLEASE READ & UNDERSTAND

Not gonna happen here!  "Purchased AS IS" MEANS JUST THAT! Once baby chicks, pullets or hens leaves our facility its up to you and your caretakers to provide proper care

We are NOT able to determine the type of care it receives - All poultry is inspected by you and me for quality and health BEFORE your new chickens are packaged for transportation to your coop

Because some (a few) clients can be hostile/angry/upset and disagree with the terms of this purchase we are *CAREFULLY SELECTING* our future customers over the phone for "possible trouble makers" and some callers are NOT given the choice to shop here at Blue Star Ranch 

PEOPLE have changed in the last 60 - 80 years, but chickens are the same agricultural birds

So there you have my 2 cents! from someone that has raised many many thousands of chickens over the years
