chicks

Welcome to our 2021 Chick Offerings:
Black Copper Marans, White Marans, Self Blue Ameraucanas, and Olive Eggers.

A few notes on chicks:

We are NPIP certified, MA #1366.
Chick are available for local pickup only. We choose not to ship chicks due to the stress of shipping and current shipping delays.
Please note that all chicks are sold straight run (aka unsexed--they could be male or female).
All local pickups are off-farm for bird biosecurity purposes. Masks are required and social distancing is practiced for human biosecurity purposes. We care about you, your safety and health, and that of your flock, too.
We will be hatching every other week for the 2021 season. Select the pickup date of your choice when you add chicks to your cart. We will be in touch with you a week before your pickup date with details. We have chick pickups on Mondays at 1 pm & 5 pm in Greenfield, MA, but if you cannot make these times, no worries--contact us after you place your order and we will make an appointment with you.
Fulfilling your order correctly and on time is our priority--we always set extra eggs in order to make this happen, and this has worked well for us. Even so, there are many forces outside of our control such as broody hens, predators, and power outages. If something unexpected happens, we promise to communicate with you ASAP, and will work with you to adjust the timing of your order or issue you a refund.
Because we set extra eggs with each hatch, we often have extra chicks available during pickup weeks. Find these on our Available Now page--a great way to add extra chicks to your order last minute, or purchase chicks without preordering.
We do offer a Marek's vaccine, you can select this option when you add chicks to your cart. We charge a small fee for this service, to cover the cost of the vaccine and supplies (as well as the time it takes to carefully give an injection to a tiny bird!).
