Our Chicks are available for local pickup at 1-week old or 3-weeks old, your choice. As of 4/7/25 we are no longer able to keep chicks through 6-weeks of age, due to space constraints. The 6-week option will return in 2026.

1-Week Old Chicks:

Now that that delicate window of time has passed (typically days 1-4 post-hatch), your little babies will be ready to come home with you at 1-week old. While they are still fragile and will need supplemental heat until they're feathered out and ready to transition outdoors, we have successfully ensured your new chicks get the best headstart to living a long, healthy life when you pick them up and bring them home!

3-Week Old Chicks:

By 3 weeks old, your chicks are feathering out, past the fragile stage, and soon able to transition off-heat. At this point, they become very personable, you are often able to clearly disntiguish male vs female chicks, and they enjoy getting to scratch at clumps of soil/grass for entertainment and gut health. 

6-Week Old Chicks:

By taking the next step and investing in our Chick Grow Out program, we will raise your chicks from hatch through 6 weeks old (which is about the time they are 90% fully feathered) and ready to transition outdoors - weather permitting. Depending on the time of year, you may still need to keep them on supplemental heat, before transitioning outdoors, but at this age they are completely comfortable in 70 degree temps, so it won't be very long with our Spring chicks that you'll need to keep them on heat. 

We have found that raising chicks through this age gets them ready to make an easy transition from the brooder to your outside coop with no added heat necessary and the Spring temps being just right.
