We will be in touch with options to schedule your hatch date + pickup date after ordering on the website. Our flock is state tested regularly, and is certified NPIP + AI Clean. Each year, we open for the season the first Tuesday of the year! Our chick minimum is FOUR total. Feel free to mix and match varieties, but please get at least FOUR silkies if you like those. Chicks are local pickup only - in Westport, Massachusetts, by appointment.
If you’re looking for variety for the best price - The Colorful Chick Package includes a dozen chicks!
