Shipping Policy

Effective Date: March 1, 2026

At Farmer Bob’s Tiny Raptors, we are committed to getting our products to you in the best possible condition. Please review our shipping procedures below.

​

1. Live Quail Shipping

  • Weather Awareness: To ensure the safety of our birds, we only ship live quail when temperatures are between 40°F and 85°F at both the origin (Monroe, GA) and the destination. We reserve the right to hold shipments until weather conditions are safe.

  • Carrier: We ship live birds via USPS Priority Mail Express, which is the industry standard for safe, fast animal transport.

  • Pickup Required: Most live bird shipments are sent "Hold for Pickup" at your local Post Office to minimize time spent on a delivery truck.

​

2. Hatching Eggs

  • Handling: Eggs are gathered daily and stored in a temperature-controlled environment until shipment.

  • Packaging: We use specialized foam or reinforced padding to prevent breakage.

  • Shipping Days: To avoid eggs sitting in a sorting facility over the weekend, we typically ship eggs on Mondays and Tuesdays.

​

3. Frozen & Dried Treats

  • Frozen Goods: Ground whole quail and frozen treats are shipped in insulated coolers with dry ice or gel packs. These are shipped via 1-2 day transit to ensure they arrive frozen or refrigerator-cold.

  • Dried Treats: Our dehydrated snacks ship via standard USPS or UPS ground.

​

4. Local Pickup

  • We offer free local pickup in Monroe, GA. If you select this option at checkout, we will contact you via email or text to schedule a convenient pickup time at our farm.
