Our Committment:
We're blessed to have both lines of the original imports of Ayam Ketawas. We purchased our Ketawas from the original importer when they first were available. We estimate to be either the same generation of birds or 1 generation behind them. Our chicks will come from our 3rd-5th generations. Our flock is uniquely curated as is we have the rare silver and mottled coloring. The gold coloring is the most common in Ketawas and our flock produces 50% gold babies. The silver was from the original flock and we have 3 patterns showing in our birds.
Please note: Max of 3 Ketawas per available date and no guarantees on the coloring you'll receive. They lay VERY seasonally, peaks being Spring to early Summer & some in Fall for the majority of their eggs.
Why do chickens go to the beach?
To collect their EGG-shells
FAQs - Baby Chicks
All of our breeds are sold straight run, and customers have a 50/50 chance of receiving males or females. If you are looking for a certain number of female chicks, we'd suggest adding a few extras to your order. We do offer older ages including: juveniles, adults, laying hens, pullets or roosters if you have a specific need. The list of those breeds is found here ... We are happy to arrange a custom order as well. Please contact us.
No, we do not vaccinate our flock or baby chicks. We constantly monitor this with our poultry vet to ensure our birds are healthy and robust. We are tested yearly for disease as NPIP participants and customers can be confident that they are receiving healthy, happy chicks from our farms.
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.

Definitely options out there. Hope this gives you some ideas. 👍😁🍻
Our available chicks and eggs are always updated on our website. You can find the next available chicks here or contact us to see what we have to take home today. We often have a few.
The locations of our farms we are generally able to provide chicks and hatching eggs year around. Our hens do get 2-3 months off per year for a break to molt, rotate and just be a chicken. This is the time of year we will see lower egg counts and our availability less.
Our recommendation and best practices: From October to March we suggest a shipping minimum of 10 chicks to ensure that chicks stay warm enough during transit. During the peak months, April -September, the recommended minimum to 6 chicks.
We gladly offer local pick up for your order. We have strict biosecurity measures for both our flocks safety. Once your order has been placed and notified your order is ready to come home, we pre-arrange a pick up time and date with you to come to our pick up drive-thru. Very simple, we have your order boxed and ready to travel home for you. You will not need to bring any boxes, cartons or crates. Local pick up orders are considered sale is final.

Fabulous Hens! Great Customer Service!!
I ordered (3) BCM hens. They are healthy, happy and so sweet. What a fantastic addition to our flock. I had the opportunity to talk with Colwyn from AZ, and mentioned I was having a some trouble with my teen rooster. He was positive, encouraging and shared some advice that was quick to resolve my issue.I highly recommend AZ.

This is my second batch I’ve received from AZ chickens and I couldn’t be happier. The mature hens are great egg layers and the processed males have good meat.
