These chicks are second generation free from vaccines, antibiotics, and fed a mix of organic feed, while free ranging daily. Sold at varying ages.

Hatching Eggs:

Hatching eggs are a mix of Barnyard fertilized eggs. These eggs are second generation free from vaccines, antibiotics, and fed a mix of organic feed and free range daily. Sold by the dozen without guarantee of sex. One box of a dozen fertilized eggs: $25

Our hatch rates have been over 90% with our own eggs using a standard incubator. We can not guarantee hatch rate due to conditions that effect hatch rate; jostling during transport, improper handing and/or storage, inconsistent temperature and humidity during incubation, and other variables once out of our care. For best results, please wait 24 hours before incubating to allow hatching eggs to settle from movement incurred during transportation.
