We are excited to offer true Cornish Bantams from Master Breeder Don Bischof, who keeps one of the largest breeding flocks of award-winning lines in North America. Popular for exhibition, Don’s Cornish breed naturally and are selected for heavy bone, head structure, and muscling on a bird that is a true bantam. Don is offering pairs in both Dark and White for 2021, and occasionally also offers Jubilee, Black, and Blue. Don handles each bird as they grow and evaluates them several times to ensure that birds that are shipped meet his personal quality criteria. Cornish pairs normally ship January through April, and the exact ship date will depend upon availability of birds and agreeable weather conditions.

Young adult birds are generally shipped October through May and may be shipped at other times, weather permitting. With adult birds you know you’re getting birds that have gone through our rigorous selection process and will be the best genetics we have to offer. As birds are produced in small numbers from premium stock, stock is limited, and availability may depend on how well the birds are producing. We do not keep a waitlist, so birds are shipped in the order they are paid.
Birds are shipped USPS Express Mail to the lower 48 states and Alaska. We ship each Tuesday, and a specific shipping date will be confirmed when the birds are ready to ship. The tracking number will be communicated after the birds have shipped, and we ask that you let us know when they arrive. Any loss as the result of shipping will be managed via the USPS insurance program and replacements will be shipped when they come available. We do not offer shipping refunds for shipments that arrive past the scheduled delivery time. Bird purchases are not refundable.
In preparation for receiving your new birds, we encourage you to have cage space ready with fresh shavings. It is a good idea to contact your local post office the week of shipment to let them know you are expecting a shipment of live birds an ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive to save them time in transit. Newly arrived birds will benefit from electrolytes in their water.
