5/6/20 Update: We will not be getting anymore layer chicks this season. If you’d like to order your own birds online we recommend:
https://www.cacklehatchery.com/
https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/index.html
They accept small orders and have good information for first time chicken owners. If you want local birds, a quick Google search “baby chicks franklin county ma” will give you options to check out. Good luck!
We strongly recommend you have supplies ready at home before you purchase chicks. For first timers – here are seven important items that are needed before your batch of chicks arrive home. We have inventory at the store.
- Brooder
- Heat Lamp
- Thermometer
- Waterer
- Feeder
- Bedding
- Feed – Chick Starter
If chickens are new to you, there’s a wealth of information online and we have several good books in the store on the topic of raising poultry.
We’re all in this together. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we navigate these trying times. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will follow guidance from public health officials and government agencies, so we can continue to support our customers and the community as needed.
