Spring 2025 Chick Breeds
Each year, when conditions are safe, we bring in chickens, in limited quantities. Here are the breeds we’re looking forward to welcoming.
After arriving, we keep our chicks to ensure everyone is healthy and stable to go home.
Chicks are sexed and vaccinated.
We ask that you remember chickens are social creatures and should be in flocks of minimum three birds.
As you integrate chicks into flocks, please do so safely.
We limit 4 chick purchases per person (in total). We ask that you respect this policy.
Without further delay, here are our chicken breeds and one duck we’ll have available. More will come in June.

Blue Runners are excellent foragers and are incredibly energetic, often seen running around the yard in search of food.
Their strong egg-laying ability is another standout feature, producing large white eggs consistently throughout the year.
