Thank you for your interest in supporting us.
The minimum order for shipped chicks from February-June is 10 to guarantee live arrival. From June – the summer and early fall the minimum order for shipped chicks is 6. If that is more chicks then you were planning on ordering, we can pad your order with free male chicks to keep your ordered chicks warm and safe for their journey.
Shipping for chicks is express flat rate of $60 for up to 75 chicken chicks. Bulk wholesale pricing is available for folks who have larger space who would like to bring our egg rainbow into their lives. Send us an email to inquire about pricing.
Farm pickups of chicks are always free and there are no minimum numbers of chicks needed though we do recommend at least 2 so you do not have a lonely chick.
We ship orders out every Tuesday morning and offer farm pickups for locals on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday each week by appointment. When selecting farm pickup you will be able to book a pickup day and time for your chicks.
We have a great FAQ page as well as beginning chicken keeping tips page to answer any of your questions, we look forward to seeing you and helping your flocks grow in 2025!
