Chicks

Our chicks are hatched in small groups in our isolated hatchery. The hatchery has no contact with any of our adult birds. Chicks remain in the hatchery until two-weeks post vaccination, or if they are leaving to new homes. Absolutely zero outside chicks or birds enter the hatchery.

In 2022 we regularly vaccinated chicks for both Marek’s and ILT. Our plan in 2023 is to continue with this vaccination program. Vaccination will be reflected in the price of our chicks. Pending hatch volume, and coordination of vaccination, we sometimes also have unvaccinated chicks available.

We offer a 24 hour health guarantee on all chicks purchased. Once chicks are in your custody, we no longer have control over environmental factors that may affect their health and longevity.

All chicks must be picked-up as we do not offer shipping on live chicks/birds. Chicks must be picked up within 48 hours of intent to purchase/payment. Please bring an appropriate box or carrier for your chicks, lined with a non-slip material such as paper towel or kitchen drawer liner. Chicks will not be sent home on cardboard or newspaper as these surfaces are slippery and increase the risk of injury to the legs of your chicks.
