Q: How Much are chicks?
It depends on the breed. Most of our chicks are $5.99 / each while other breeds are $6.99 / each. Ducks are $9.00. Geese, turkeys and guineas are $16.00 / each.
*Geese & Turkeys are available for special order.
*Turkeys can only be ordered with a minimum of 10. We cannot order 1 of (this breed) & 1 or 2 of (that breed) Please call us if you have any questions.
Q: Are the chicks vaccinated for Marek's?
Yes! All of the chicks we get in are vaccinated for Mareks.
Marek’s disease is a herpes virus that attacks chickens’ nervous system and causes an array of issues depending on the virus strain the chicken has contracted. In many cases, the affected chicken will become paralyzed and unable to walk or move.
While the vaccination against this disease is extremely effective, it is not always a 100% sure-fire way to prevent the disease. It should be administered to day-old chicks for best results. Waiting any longer than a day increases your chick’s chances of inadvertently contracting the disease.
Q: Are all the chicks Pullets (female)?
No. Most of the breeds we get in will be pullets, however some breeds are not sexed. Also known as “Straight Run”
Do you guarantee the sexing of chicks?
No. The hatchery sexes birds within 90% accuracy, but they don’t make any kind of guarantee to us, therefore we can’t 100% guarantee that to you. So, bear in mind if you order all Pullets (females) and happen to get some roosters (males) that is the luck of the draw.
Q: When will my chicks be in?
We have a variety of chicks coming in every week during the Spring. Depending on what breeds / quantity you are wanting we will simply put your name on the chicks that are coming in and notify you what week they will be here. We will always call or text you the day your chicks are here and ready for pick up. They usually arrive by mid-day.
If we need to, we will try to order extra from the hatchery to fill your order.
Q: Can I cancel my chick order?
Yes, you can. We just ask that you notify us at least 10 business days before your chicks were scheduled to arrive.
Q: Can I order chicks for pick up at the Eureka Location?
At this time, no. Our Eureka location does not have enough space to accommodate a coop for chicks. They do offer all of the chick starting supplies that you need!
