Hatching Eggs | Chicks | Coop Ready Pullets | Point of Lay Hens
All poultry sales on this are considered pre-orders for future stock.
When you order chicks you are ordering for the next available hatch of those chicks.
When you order coop ready pullets or point of lay hens you are ordering for them to be hatched then grown out for you by us until they are of the desired maturation.
Indication of stock on hand does not mean we necessarily have those available at this time. when you pay for an order we will add you to our hatch schedule and let you you know when to expect them.
We do often have stock on hand as we aim to over hatch as much as possible to be able to meet orders. When this happens we are more than happy to sell what we do have available that has not already been arranged for.
Pricing for coop ready or point of lay considers all the feed and effort put in by us so you don’t have to worry about brooding chicks to this age. It also allows you to specify hens rather than deal with the possibilities of getting roosters, as most chicks are sold straight run. It also takes into account the rarity of some of the breeds we offer. These are not breeds you are likely to see at your local farm store.
We have minimum orders for the good of the chickens. Whether we are shipping or you are picking up locally we want both your experience and the wellbeing of the chickens to be maintained.
The maximum that can be shipped in a single shipping order is 16 chicks(12 in cold), 3 pullets, (2 minimum)

Like minimum orders we have maximum orders for specific breeds. We need to control how many we can produce based off several factors such as how many productive layers and subsequent eggs we can gather within a reasonable time-frame to place into incubation. This will vary for different breeding groups and change from time to time.
Not all breeds may be available to be included in the same order on the same hatch date depending on pre-existing orders. It is best to call ahead before ordering to be sure we can do this. 385.350.2787
