Un-medicated feed only

Our chicks are vaccinated for Coccidiosis upon hatching, allowing them to develop immunity from the vaccination. Common chick feed often contains medication, which can negate the immunity provided by the vaccination. Please ensure that you provide feed that does not contain medication. Un-medicated Chick starters are available to purchase on the website. [Click to view]

Minimum order 4 chicks

Please select assorted breeds or opt for a single breed as long as the total number of chicks is 4 or more.
This policy is in place to ensure the well-being of the chicks. Day-old chicks thrive in small groups, where they can snuggle, play, and interact. Being part of a group allows them to bond, and if any unexpected issues arise, they still have others to rely on. Additionally, transitioning to outdoor life, such as integrating into an existing flock, is easier for chicks raised in a small group.

All chicks need a brooder with a heat source for the first 5–6 weeks of life.[Click here] to view our range of brooder setup supplies which can also be picked up along with your chicks.

Vent “Checked” chicks

Most heritage chicks cannot be sexed at hatching unless they are specifically bred for it. The only other way is vent sexing by highly skilled professionals who are incredibly rare. We were lucky enough to travel to South Korea to formally train in this technique. While we have the foundational skills chick sexing is an intricate art that requires extensive real world practice. However there are certain signs where we can confidently spot a definite male. We now vent scan all our chicks and actively remove these obvious boys from the group. This allows us to refine our accuracy while simultaneously increasing your odds of receiving female chicks.

Please kindly note that our vent checked chicks are still strictly offered as UNSEXED. Some breeds are simply harder to read than others. Removing the obvious males improves your chances but it does not guarantee the remaining chicks are females. If this natural uncertainty makes you uneasy we gently advise exploring our guaranteed sexed breed options instead.
