PLEASE READ THE LISTING IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER. THANK YOU.

Local pick up only. We do not ship birds! All orders of chicks and hatching eggs are pre-orders! Chicks are sold unsexed. When you place your order we will contact to you let you know when we are setting the eggs for your chicks and give you an anticipated hatch date. When your chicks hatch, we vaccinate them, unless requested otherwise, and reach out to you to schedule your appointment for pick up.

We update inventory weekly. Once you are notified that your birds are ready for check out, it is up to you to have their coop ready and make arrangements to pick them up by the deadline agreed upon. Should life happens and you are not able to take care of the birds you pre-ordered, we will give you credit for the amount paid up-to-date for a future purchase. Please understand we are not able to refund any orders/pre-orders. The only time, a refund applies is when we are not able to deliver the product (Ex. theft, fertility issues, hatch rate issue, fire, flock demise, bird illness, death of breeder, etc). There is a $5 fee for each bird, each day that is here past the deadline. No exceptions.

Minimum purchase is required as follows:

1-3 weeks: 5 chicks

4-6 weeks: 3 chicks

A fee of $20 is added to any order that does not meet the minimum purchase requirement. This fee will be collected during pickup. Orders are filled by the order in which payment is received. Please allow up to 48 hours to hear back from us, especially if you are ordering on a Friday night or over the weekend. Appointments are scheduled for Saturdays most of the year. If you are ordering on a Saturday and expecting to pick up on the same day, please note available slots fill up quickly during the week, so sometimes, we are fully booked on Saturdays. Please wait to hear back from us before heading to our farm. We will contact you within 48 hours to schedule your pick up or anticipated pick up date, depending on the birds’ age group you purchased.

On the day of your appointment, please bring a suitable carrier for the safe transport of your pullets of the age of 6 weeks.

If you want to make your own solution here is the recipe:

Our Flock of Buff Orpingtons

Our Buff Orpingtons are remarkably striking and beautiful; nothing like the ones found at the local feed store. We were quiet fortunate to have found a reliable source for quality Buff Orpingtons. Their plumage is rich orange gold and lustrous. The whole flock exhibits a warm and docile temperament. Buff Orpingtons have several great qualities, making them an all time backyard chicken favorite. They are quiet, calm, and affectionate. Buff Orpintons make a great addition to families with young children and folks who may be just starting out with chickens. Hens are great layers of large tan eggs. They can go broody and make excellent mothers. The roosters are sweethearts. They can be easily picked up and petted. They are also cold hardy and great foragers, but also bear confinement well.
