We have straight run chicks available for purchase. Call for price and ordering - we can do a straight run of 18-20 chicks in about 3 weeks. Ron is TERRIBLE at sexing chicks so if you prefer ONLY HENS, we would urge you to purchase an older bird so we can guarantee it's a Pullet or a Laying Hen. This breed lives on average 6-10 years, so a slightly older age isn't that bad in the scheme of things. Of course the roos are ridiculously sweet and interactive too, and fertilized eggs always taste better... As with the laying hens, we focus on the Plymouth Barred Rock breed - they're known to be good layers and good for their meat. We do not believe in vaccinating our chicks, and rely on natural, home remedies for their health.
