More Information

We offer a wide variety of birds so that you can choose your flock based upon your goals. Entire orders are subject to minimum quantities (by species: chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc.), but we invite you to mix-and-match within those species. Pricing and breed availability does vary from year to year, so we encourage you to contact our store directly for the most up-to-date information. Due to the nature of the ordering process, non-refundable deposits may be required on specialty, limited/rare, and exotic breeds. See store for details.

Bird Sexing and Ordering Details

Please note that most of our laying chicken breeds come sexed as females unless otherwise specified (e.g.- Cornish-Rock Cross meat birds are straight run for larger yields; in addition, certain limited breeds are available as straight-run only). Any sexing that is available will be performed by the hatchery and does not necessarily guarantee the sex of the bird. Baby chicks are typically available for delivery each month from April through July; turkeys, ducks, and guinea fowl are typically available in May only (program could vary from year to year). See store for order deadlines, pricing, and availability.

Canceling Orders

We can accept changes to orders up to the order deadline for each respective poultry delivery date. Once the deadline for your order date has past, the hatch has been scheduled and you are committed to the order. At that point we CANNOT cancel your order and you are responsible to pay for and pick up the birds. In some cases, a non-refundable deposit may be required on certain specialty or rare/limited breeds.

​Important Note About Poultry Breeds

New regulations in New Hampshire require that our store maintain certain records related to the sale of live poultry. Please see the store for the most up-to-date requirements. Please note that, while the information above provides a reasonable indication of what is available, breed varieties may vary and are subject to availability. We do everything we can to provide the breeds as specified but when it comes to live animals, there are certain factors throughout the process that are beyond our control and may affect availability without notice. For the most up-to-date information on breed selection, availability, and other requirements, please contact our store directly.
