We offer both sexed and unsexed ("straight run") chicks. Unsexed chicks have a 50/50 chance of being male or female. Since it takes 6 months for chicks to start laying eggs, we recommend ordering extra to ensure you'll have enough laying hens once they're grown and laying eggs. We also sell birds of various ages, including juveniles, adults, laying hens, pullets, and roosters. View our available breeds here ... For custom orders, please contact us.

No, we do not vaccinate our flock or baby chicks. We do not recommend for small flocks to be vaccinated. We constantly monitor this with our poultry vet to ensure our birds are healthy and robust. We are tested yearly for diseases as NPIP participants and customers can be confident that they are receiving healthy, happy chicks from our farms. If you would like to learn more, we have article covering Mareks disease. Should you desired chicks to be vaccinated, it is offered through our customer service team at $1 per bird.

Did you know?... They don't crow till about 12 weeks at the absolute earliest, most later than that.

Couple options for roosters...

1. Use him for food for the family, maybe you have a hunter in the family that could help. Often there are families that will buy or take the rooster for meat for their family.

2. Once hes older than four months old, Pratt's Pets (Glendale location) will purchase them from you for $10 per. If they're younger than four months, the Stock Shop will accept them if they have space.

3. You could also post them in the Arizona Backyard Chicken group on Facebook to rehome him. Just have to be VERY careful with your wording. Rehome, sale and wording like that is not allowed by FB.

4. Another app called MeWe you can rehome/sell there in the Arizona Backyard Chicken group but not nearly as many people in the group.
