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

Here's how to do this:

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.

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.

Typically, all orders are to be paid for at checkout. We do offer special payment terms for multiple hatch date orders, which may allow payment on the hatch date, HOWEVER, THIS REQUIRES PRIOR APPROVAL. 

If we attempt to process payment, and the payment declines, we will contact you immediately.  We will not place your order until payment processes successfully.

If you placed orders for APPROVED multiple hatch date payment terms, and payment declines, we will contact you immediately. If payment is not able to be processed successfully by 12:00 PM (PT) on the hatch date, your order will not be shipped, unless you call us and make arrangements for payment. Please call us immediately if you have reason to believe that a payment might decline.

We accept only credit/debit cards for ship orders. Pickup orders or feed store orders, may be paid for by credit/debit card, cash, or by check, upon prior approval.

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. 

A comprehensive guide, relating to how to raise all poultry that we have to offer can be found here.

Yes we do! It can be found here.
