Yes! Our site is specifically designed to allow you to add multiple hatch dates and breeds to your order. 

Many customers place their entire years' orders, on one order placement.

Here's how to do this:

1) Once you have added all hatch dates and varieties that you want to order to your cart, click "Checkout." 

2) Fill in your contact information and shipping information.

3) If you want to pay up front for your entire order, click Credit Card, and enter your payment information.

-We also allow multiple hatch date orders to be paid for per hatch date/ship date, instead of upfront at the time of order placement, but this requires special approval. Gaining approval is very simple!

*We can ship only chicks to Hawaii, no turkeys or ducks, due to special species specific import restrictions. All orders to be shipped to Hawaii must be placed at least 14 days before the expected hatch date, to allow us time to obtain the proper shipment and import/export permits, from the HDOA.

Your chicks will arrive within 1 to 3 days after they are shipped. All chicks ship on the hatch date. Some locations will receive chicks overnight, while others may require a full 3 days. If you have questions about shipping time to your location, please call us.

All chicks are shipped via USPS Priority Mail. USPS is the only carrier which accepts live poultry.

We rarely run into shipment issues, but if one does occur, please take a picture of the box, with the chicks in it at your post office, and have a postal employee witness it. Please send us the picture and we will file a claim with USPS. We will also work with USPS to determine what was the cause of the issue.

Yes we do! Weather can certainly pose issues throughout the year, fortunately, we are well prepared. We have summer boxes, as well as winter boxes. We determine the proper box to use for your order, by recording the high and low temperature of your location, for the expected arrival date, on the fulfillment label on your chick box, and then selecting the appropriate box. For extremely cold locations, we can also utilize specialized insulating pads, and heat packs.

Typically we put 25 chicks in a 25 ct. box, 50 chicks in a 50 ct. box, and 100 chicks in a 100 ct. box. However depending upon the weather, and the quantity of chicks that you order, this may vary. In very warm weather, we will usually put a maximum of 15 chicks in a 25 ct. box, 30 chicks in a 50 ct. box, and 80 chicks in a 100 ct. box. We can ship a minimum of 10 chicks.

The "green stuff" is called GroGel. GroGel is a hydration and nutrition supplement. We include this in every order, at no additional charge. GroGel is comprised of gellified water, prebiotics, probiotics, and vitamins. This supplement greatly increases the viability of chicks during shipment, as it provides them with hydration and nutrition. GroGel does not affect an organic farm status certification at all, and is very safe for your chicks, in fact, it is beneficial to their success! See the ingredient link below for the ingredient list.

For Cornish Cross, we ship 4% extra in each order. For all other varieties we usually will include 1 or 2 extra chicks per box. If we run short on a hatch, we will withhold extra chicks to avoid shorting customers, and your box will show a stamp, stating that no extras were included.

Yes we do, we guarantee 95% accuracy on all sexed pullets. We don't do any vent sexing at our hatchery, but we do have a few sexable breeds which are either feather sexable, or color-sexable.

We no longer have the box fee. All charges are included in the price per chick.

Yes, they usually do. If you plan to raise your chicks on conventional feed, use a 21%-22% protein chick starter, crumble. Feed this for 10 days up to 4 weeks, depending upon the recommendation of the feed supplier, leaving feed out all the time. After this period, transition to a lower protein "broiler grower" ration. Take care to restrict feeding. Typically it is suggested to leave feed out for 12 hours, then take it away for 12 hours. This will help to slow the growth rate for Cornish Cross.

Yes we do! It can be found here.
