Terms and Conditions and other important info for picking up birds
A 10% deposit is required to hold any birds that will be picked up from our farm, (auction or other event we may delivery birds to). Deposits are non refundable should the customer back out of a sale, or be a no show for a scheduled pick up. Deposit would be refunded if there was a problem on our end providing the birds. Balance is due at pick up. Cash only at pick ups please.
Unless other arrangements were made prior to the sale, pick up from our farm will be expected within 2 weeks of date on deposit invoice.
Unless otherwise stated all pick up orders for ducks will be placed in crates that you can take with you.
If you would like to bring your own crate we recommend the following : for most ducks small pet taxis work well. If picking up multiple pairs of ducks we recommend using multiple small pet taxis instead if one large one. This will help prevent injuries during transit from trampling. For swans 1 large breed dog crate can hold 1 pair.
We do not supply crates for swans.
We guarantee all to be birds are healthy and sound at time of pick up. Customers are always given to opportunity to see, and also handle (if they wish), their birds before completing the purchase.However should a customer accidentally release a bird while handling they will still be expected to pay for that bird. We do not offer any additional guarantees for after the birds have left our farm and are in customers care. We recommend that all customers read over our care info page @ https://www.mallardlanefarms-onlinestore.com/care-info and the pages dedicated to the species you will be receiving, for information on the proper care of your new birds. Additionally a health certificate from our vet can be provided at customer expense. Cost of a health certificate $85.00 for 1-50 birds. Please email for pricing for over 50 birds. Request for health certificate must be made at least 1 week prior to pick up date.
If you wish to add additional birds to your order please let us know at least 24 hrs before pick up so we can plan accordingly.
​
Please be sure to read over your deposit invoice. Additional important pick up info such as our address and driving directions will be included on this invoice.
​
All birds will be fully feathered and adult size at the time of pick up. We do not sell ducklings or half grown birds.
​
Please note we do not give tours of our farm. For the safety of our customers and our birds and to comply with the recommendations of the USDA, customers will not be allowed to enter any of our aviaries. All transactions will take place in an area that is away from our aviaries and other birds.
Most orders will be picked up from our front gate.
