Started Chicks

Celebrate easter with chicks and forgo dying eggs in the future with a colorful egg basket or use your own eggs.
 
The eldest of our chicks, our White Leghorns Puillets  and Straight Run Frizzled Cochin Bantams (Mostly Lavender with 1 Black and Potentially Mottled) are over a month old and off to an excellent start.
 
Our selections includes
Straight Run Bantams: Mostly Silkies
White Leghorn Pullet-Chicks
Hatchery Assortment Egg Layer Pullets with a Variety of Breeds
 
These chicks are sold as is and within each section, only Leghorn pullets are sold by breed. The hatchery choice layer selection we received includes a few white egg layers, some Marans which would lay a dark brown egg and some colored egg layers; Cream Legbars and Starlight Green Eggers included. As we've aquired these as an assortment we cannot guarentee breed selection though have some guesses.
 
Everyone will be  2 ½ weeks of age at minimum with the White Leghorn Pullet-Chicks being a month of age. These should not be mixed with birds significantly differing in size and will need need supplemental heat. The Leghorns especially hatching 3/17/2025 would be a good age for the State Fair.
 
Any bantam chicks, Silkies here included, are sold as straight run, a mix of males and females, ideally half and half though this can vary especially among smaller orders. All other birds were purchased as sexed females, pullets or layer chicks. Those we’ve gotten from Hoover’s Hatchery in the past as sexed females have tended towards 95 to 97% acurate verus the 90% they advertise. Our rooster guarantee only applies to 2 to 4 month old pullets when purchased during our Hen Sales

Starting with chicks can be a delightful experience however, our primary poultry focus is in offering Started Pullets to backyard flock owners to help fund our Horseless Horse Youth Program.
