In an effort to meet the rising demand of chicks from the covid-19 crisis we are offering a “homesteaders box” made up of chicks hatched from eggs that are lighter in color or off color from our typical breeding program selection. This is a way to get chicks if you are not particular about the colors of eggs they lay but want chickens in your life to ensure food security.

The birds you will receive will still be bred from mild mannered birds with sweet temperaments.

For $140 (shipping included) or $80 picked up we will provide you with 10 chicks that will yield egg colors such as brown, creams, tans, greens. All the breeds will get along well in the barnyard and grow up to be beautiful. The box will be 100% straight run chicks and will be very heavy on marans that will most likely lay lighter colored eggs – they all have the potential of laying darker shades of chocolate but they will be hatched from lighter colored eggs.

How does it work? We ship every Tuesday and also make chicks weekly available by appointment. We will offer you a shipping and or appointment date once your order has been placed.
