MORE Straight Runs on the way!

Yay! Mt. Healthy just came through with another 100 straight run assorted chicks for this weeks deliver!

We do not know the breed or the sex of these babies, they are $2.00 each. Arriving Thursday (if the US post office gets them here on time)!

Special Orders, Policies and Procedures

Special Orders

ALL special orders for chickens are PRE-PAID!

A Pre-Paid Chicken Special Order form (yellow) will be filled out and completed by an employee, paid either in person or over the phone. When chicks arrive the Special order chicks will be put on hold. Customer will be called when chicks
arrive. The customer has 24 hours to pick up chicks. If chicks are not picked up within 24 hours, the hold will be released and chicks will be sold to first come first served. Customers can wait for another delivery of chicks or receive a refund for the chicks purchased.

This policy allows our coops to clear out between orders and
chicks get the best of care in our brooder.

Special Request

We can special order rare birds, which includes, chickens, ducks, guineas, geese, turkeys. During the season we will order common chickens, ducks, guineas and turkey. If you have a special request of a rare breed bird that we can buy from our hatcheries, there will be a minimum order and charges will apply. Arrivals will depend on the hatchery, availability, and if other customers also request these rare birds. Let us know what you are looking for, yet we don't guarantee we can deliver your request. Ask an employee to fill out a Request Chicken Special Order form (blue) for your request.

Chick Deliveries

Chicks usually arrive on Thursday in the AM. At times they
are delayed by weather or traffic conditions. These chicks come through the postal service and are picked up as soon as they arrive in Tallahassee. Please respect that the first hour is critical for these 1 day old chick. We must count chicks, get them into the coops and set them up with their first food and water. Special orders will be called when chicks are settled into the coop.

Handling Chicks

Our coops are not Self Serve.

Please ask for assistance when
purchasing chicks, you are welcome to open the coops and pick up chicks for inspections. Children MUST be accompanied by an adult when handling chicks. Please use hand sanitizer or wash hands after handling chicks. If there is a sold or hold sign on the coop, a number of these chicks are special orders (pre-paid) and are not for sale.

NO Refunds

We DO NOT REFUND dead or sick chicks! Live animals are your responsibility once you take them from the store. Inspect your chicks before purchase, if chicks do not appear healthy please tell an employee.
