Frequently Asked Questions-FAQ's
Ordering
Once I place my order, will I receive a confirmation email?
Yes! Once your order has been placed, and payment information has been entered during checkout, you will receive your confirmation email. You do not need to wait for us to send one to you. You will receive one automatically. After this, rest assured that your order has been placed, and that your order will ship/be ready for local pickup, on the hatch date that you selected. You can also select during checkout, to receive notifications via mobile phone number, rather than email.
Can I place multiple orders for an entire year, or pre-order hatch dates in advance?
For 2023 we will only have up to 13 weeks of hatch dates available at one time. Towards the end of each month, we will add the next 4 hatch dates to the website. This presents a challenge as most of you need to place your orders in advanced to make sure you can place the correct processing dates. However, we have a solution for this! We offer two types of Preorder programs, the Special Payment Terms (SPT) for 1000+ Cornish/Layers and the Retail Preorder System (RPOS.) Feed stores please send us an email or give us a call as we have a different program set up for those accounts.
1000+ Cornish Cross/ 1000+ Layer Customers:
The process will be the same as last year, once we receive the updated SPT Form you can provide your dates over the phone, via email or place your order online. Please make sure if you place your order online you only place one hatch date per order. With SPT you will pay for your first order ahead of time as a deposit for the rest of the season, then each hatch date will be charged to the payment method on file the day before the hatch date. You can read more about the SPT program here.
Retail Pre-Order Form: For our other customers that need to place orders in advanced but do not qualify for the SPT program we have the RPOS Form. Once we recieve the completed form, we request that you send us your desired hatch dates via email or you give us a call. We will place the orders online once they come available and we will send you a payment request to complete the order. This way you can still get the hatch dates you need without having to worry about availability as we will place the orders for you!
Please call us at 541-928-8928 or send us an email at sales@jenkshatchery.com to see if you qualify for one of these programs, we will then email you the appropriate form and once we recieve that back we will place your hatch dates in our system.How do I check on my order?

Is it safe to have my chicks shipped?
Yes it is! We have a very good working relationship with USPS, thus it is very safe to have your chicks shipped. 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. We will always follow up with you and make things right, if an issue does occur. Please visit our refund policy for more information.
I received some DOA's in my chick shipment, what should I do?

A link to our refund policy and directions for using our online claim form, can be found here: https://jenks-hatchery-inc.myshopify.com/pages/refund-policy
Do you ship chicks year round? Is weather ever an 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.
How many chicks do you put in a box?
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.
What is the green stuff in the cups in the box?
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.
Payments
What if my payment declines?
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.
What types of payment do you accept?
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. Call us if you would like to pay in cash or by check, for pickup or feed store orders. The default payment method is credit/debit card. We accept all major credit/debit card providers. A full list of carriers is provided at the bottom of each page.
Is my payment information safe?
Yes it is. We are PCI Level 1 compliant. We do not handle your payment information nor do we keep record of it. All information is stored in secure servers maintained by top notch security companies who manage online payments for companies such as Target, K-Mart, Bi-Mart, etc. The company who manages your information is Stripe. We do not share or disclose any of your information, at any time.
Vaccinations
Do you use antibiotics?
No, we do not. None of our chicks are vaccinated using antibiotics. As we supply a commercial organic customer, this is standard practice for us. We are not allowed to use any antibiotics.
Is Marek's/IBD vaccination included, or does it cost extra?
We include Marek's vaccination in each chick that we sell. We do not charge extra for that vaccination. We do however, offer optional additional vaccinations, which do cost extra.
Is it possible to "Opt- Out" of Marek's/IBD Vaccines?
No, we can no longer offer unvaccinated chicks from our facility (excluding poults.) We have implemented this change in order to reduce labor costs and boost chick quality to it's highest possible level. Our new vaccination machine, vaccinates the chicks while they are still in the egg three days before hatch. This reduces overall stress to the chicks, as the needle does not touch the chick, instead the yolk sac is vaccinated, just before it is drawn up within the chick, as the chick begins moving into the hatching position.
This process is performed in an ultra sterile environment, utilizing cutting edge, top of the line technology. In between each egg injection, the vaccination needle is completely sanitized using a closed sanitation system. Additionally, all eggs are candled using an infrared system which determines whether eggs are viable or not. Any infertile or non-viable eggs are removed from the system. As a result of this, setting aside non vaccinated viable eggs is not possible, as once eggs enter this system, they cannot be removed, if they are deemed to contain a viable chick within the egg.
Accounts
Do I have to create an account?
No, but we highly recommend creating one. Creating an account will also allow you to check out more quickly in the future. However, if you are approved for Special Payment Terms in order to place your order online you must be logged into your account.

General Questions
Do you offer a catalog?
We do offer a digital catalog, although we also currently display all available varieties, pricing, and information, on our website.To be added to this list, please go to our homepage and fill out the catalog request form, which can be found at the bottom of the page, or click here.
We also offer a downloadable catalog for Feed Store/Wholesale customers. Please call us if you are a feed store/wholesale customer, and would like a catalog. Proof of status is required to receive a Feed Store/Wholesale catalog.
Will I receive extra chicks in my order?
For Cornish Cross, we try to 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.
Do you have a sexing policy for pullet chicks?
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. A link to our sexing policy can be found here:
I was shorted on my order, what should I do?
Please fill our the mistakes/miscounts form found here, and then call us. We take customer satisfaction very seriously. On your fulfillment label, on the side of each box, should be an initial belonging to the person responsible for the correct fulfillment of your order. Please let us know what the initial on your label is, we will make sure to make things right. Please take pictures of the chicks you did receive and your box labels and attach them to the form or text them to use at 541-527-7175, once we receive the photos we can reimburse you, credit you or discuss reshipment if the missing amount of chicks qualifies under the minimum shipment policy.
*We require that you send in your claim form to us and contact us regarding an issue within 48 hours of receiving your chicks.*
Do you ship adult birds (started pullets)?
Unfortunately, we do not offer adult birds, due to the biosecurity risk. We only offer day old poultry. The term "pullet" on our website is referring to a female chick, not a started pullet.
Do you still charge extra for each box?
We no longer have the box fee. All charges are included in the price per chick.
Do Cornish Cross require special feeding restrictions?
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.
Do you have a refund policy?
Yes we do! It can be found here.
