Hertzler Farm & Feed Inc.

We have made the difficult decision not to sell baby chicks this year.  We do not have room in our current setup and after going through last year’s fire, we simply do not want to have heat lamps and run the risk that goes with them. Also, last year tried our patience to the breaking point with the USPS lack of care and inept shipping practices. We had literally hundreds of chicks come in dead because they sat in postal distribution centers for five days.

Here is my list of local chick hatchers/growers

Thanks for supporting us in the past and we will see what the future holds. The Hertzlers

I have posted a blog post with pictures of the fire. Watch here for more updates as I get time to post. We are working hard to get our business back up and running. The feed store is open for business selling feed, shavings, hay, straw, fertilizer, lime and grass seeds.  Quarterfield Market is relaunching Saturday, May 10. Even though our beautiful facility was destroyed, the vendors have thrown their full support behind us and we will be setting up a tent city! 

There is no way we can adequately thank everyone for all the wonderful meals (they were my lifesaver!), physical help with cleanup, words of encouragement and financial support. It has truly been humbling and very much appreciated. We have experienced the true outpouring of love from our family, friends, church family and community. Thank you.

Here is the scoop on on Quarterfield Market.… 

Our new building for the market is almost complete. We are anticipating/hoping/praying for a mid January opening. We closed our outdoor pavilion the week before Christmas because of weather and the holidays and to give our vendors a rest before the big reopening. We have numerous new vendors joining us when we reopen with some exciting new products. Stay tuned……

Red Sex Link Pullets 

Call the store to be on our reservation lists or to see if we have any in stock. They are starting to flow through the supply line again. Even though we are getting some, they are selling fast.  804-598-4021

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.

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.
