As most of you know we had a tragic fire this past weekend. We lost everything including baby chicks. We have had to cancel all chick orders for the year as we have no way to care for them. If your name is on the list, just know your order is cancelled. It breaks our heart but we have no choice at this point.

We also lost all our information sheets. We have the last four digits of your phone number on the order sheet below but not your full phone number and name. We have no way to know who or how to contact you. You will need to contact us for your deposit refunds.

Chickens InStock-On Order-Prices

We will be starting to take orders after January 1 with arrivals starting in mid-March. I don’t get chicks in quite as soon as some businesses because the weather is still cold and if they get cold in shipping (they come on an airplane) there is a lot of trouble with viability and their long-term health.

Please call 804-598-4021 to place your order. You must call, do not email questions or orders. It is too difficult to answer questions by email and we must talk to you in person to place an order.  We do not ship chicks. A nonreturnable desposit of $10 is required when you order. 

Please note that when we order females only, they come hatchery sexed. They do make mistakes and neither they nor we are able to 100% guarentee all females.  We are not able to look at chicks and tell what they are.

Chick Prices and Breeds Available-Cackle

Red Sex Link Pullets 

We are currently out of hens and I have just been notified that there probably will not be any hens this year. The avain flu has caused a nationwide shortage of commerical baby chicks. Our grower is not able to obtain baby chicks.  

These hens are probably the best egg layers out there, producing 250-320 eggs per year. The full-grown hens weigh around 6 lbs. They lay a golden brown large egg. Their country of origin is the United States.

I normally carry full grown Red Sex Link pullets year round. They are around 4 months old when they come in.  Right now everyone wants hens because of egg prices and the supply chain can not meet the demands.  

For questions or orders, please call the store 804-598-4021. Do not email as it takes too much time to respond to all the requests and it is so much typing. Thanks for your understanding.

Our chicken policy:

We will NOT sell you chickens if you do not  bring a safe,  ventilated, carrying cage or box with holes to put them in.  We will use our discretion as to what is a safe number to put in the container.  Just remember, the hens must be able to stand upright, not piled in your cage/box and have proper ventilation.

• We will NOT stack (pile) chickens in container.
• We will NOT stack (pile) them in plastic or net bags.

This is for our and your safety and protection from environmental and humane animal         handling standards.

We do sell the pet kennel style of carrying crates.

We want to thank you for your help and cooperation on this issue.
