Hens for Sale
We are in our eighth year of helping backyard flock owners add one or more ladies who are fully feathered and ready to be immersed into to their flock.
Avoid chick rearing catastrophes, unanticipated roosters and biosecurity blunders with started pullets.
Due to customer requests for hens already laying come spring, we are offering hens started earlier then ever before alongside our usual flock started in winter.
3 Hen Purchasing Options
When will my chicken lay an egg?
Even with plenty of light, some breeds take longer to mature and come into lay (production) then others. White Leghorns started laying by 18 weeks of age (4 1/2 months). Most common backyard favorites take a little longer to mature; Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons and Speckled Sussexes tend to start closer to 5.5 months with most colored egg layers starting a few weeks afterwards. Large bodied birds such as Brahmas and English Orpingtons require greater time as the focus is on building their frame before they start laying, sometimes starting closer to 7 1/2 months of age. All the more reason to start with hens in production or near it.
2026 FLOCKMATES
Over 50 Breeds and Varieties Offered
This is the full flock of chickens we offer across two different age groups.
See the other pages to see each of the flocks individually.
Since 2015, the cost of chicks and rearing costs has doubled. While we have been hesitant to raise prices and had previously maintained prices for most breeds, we have to in order to continue to raise chickens to support our youth mentorship horse program. We will also utilize a reservation system to book a pick-up time that is convenient for you rather than our traditional hen sale dates earlier in the season.
Our "First Flock" hatched in late July and will be twice the age of previous offerings, providing eggs far sooner. These birds are priced to cover the added feed and bedding costs that one would normally incur to get a hen to that age. One can choose to pick up birds from "First Flock" earlier and use the coupons below to get them at a lower cost. This group also features Salmon Faverolles and an assortment of Easter Eggers with varying features, most notably some frizzled ones. Our last set of birds was acquired when we would usually start pullets for our traditional Hen Sales. These pullets hatched between January and February for pickup starting mid-March. Thanks again for your support last year!

For biosecurity purposes please wear clothing and shoes that have not been worn around other birds.
Additionally, please bring a kennel or box to safely carry your new feathered friend's home in order to avoid lap chickens.
