Chicks and pullets
Start a flock with birds that were hatched here
Day-old chicks from March to May, started pullets from early summer, all from our own breeding flock on pasture.
THE BREEDS
What we hatch, and what to expect from each
| Breed | Eggs | Temperament | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rhode Island Red | Brown, very good layer | Confident, hardy | A first flock that lays reliably |
| Barred Rock | Brown, good layer | Calm, friendly | Families with children |
| Easter Egger | Blue and green | Curious, active | Colorful egg baskets |
| Buff Orpington | Light brown, steady | Gentle, goes broody | Backyard pets that lay |
| Australorp | Brown, excellent layer | Quiet, cold hardy | Cold climates and small yards |
Bringing chicks home
1. Reserve
Hatching dates run March to May. Reserve the breeds you want early; popular ones go first.
2. Set up the brooder
A draft-free box, a heat source, chick feed and shallow water, ready before the birds arrive.
3. Collect
Day-old chicks go home in a ventilated box. We check each one before it leaves.
4. Ask us anything
The first weeks raise questions. Call or message; we would rather answer than hear later.
Started pullets
- Sixteen to twenty weeks old, a few weeks from laying
- Raised on pasture, so they know how to forage
- Vaccinated and checked before sale
- Available from early summer while stock lasts
Reserve chicks for spring
Tell us the breeds and how many, and we will confirm a hatch date.
