Chicks
Over the course of the season, we’ll hatch eggs from our breeding stock to help us continue to both improve and replenish our genetic lines. Since we keep only 12-20 breeders of each breed, we will always have extra chicks available for sale. We raise the chicks for 2-7 days to help them get through their infancy stage and best prepare them for their new homes.
Chicks are sold as straight-run only
Local pick-up only.
Due to New York State law, our order minimum for chicks is 6.
