** Pre-Orders Open NOW! Available for pickup starting the week of March 24th, 2025. **
 
Let us save you the hassle of ordering the larger minimum quantities, raising delicate day-old chicks, and pick up your new flock members with ease when you order through our chick grow out program!
 
Our 2025 Chicks are available for pickup at 1-week old or 6-weeks old, your choice.
 
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!
 
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.
 
This year, we have selected breeds of chickens that have vigor, are cold tolerant, have smaller combs and traits to help them be better equipped for the cold, and those that are generally great family pets, without sacrificing production. All breeds listed (with the exception of maybe the decorative Mottled Houdans) are excellent laying breeds.

​Ancona
Ameraucana

Barred Rock
