GUARANTEE
Shipping live birds through the US Post Office is our best option. However, extreme weather can cause delays and turbulence can cause injuries. We GUARANTEE that EVERY quail we ship will arrive alive and uninjured; if not, we’ll refund you for each affected bird. In addition, we will refund you for any shipped bird that dies within 24 hours of arrival. To qualify for the refund, email jenna@myshirefarmc.om within 3 days of your shipment arrival. See guarantee details.

BREEDING
However, to get this gene to pass down to your own chicks, you’ll need to ONLY breed Myshire celadons to Myshire celadons. BOTH the mother and the father need to carry the gene for it to be passed on. So if you breed a celadon mother to a non-celadon father, their chick won’t carry the gene. But if both parents have the gene, the chicks will carry it on!
