Newly Hatched Chicks available for purchase.
Had a failed hatching or has your hen only got one lonely chick. Newly Hatched Chicks - takes the hassle out of hatching your own chicks yourself and having it all done for you. . Therefore saving you any lost or unhatched eggs or any deformed chicks from a less than ideal incubation process. Our Chicks are sold as unsexed from 1 - 5 days old only @ $12.50 each - with a minimum purchase of four chicks or more at one time. 4 Chicks @ $50.00. Chicks are pick up only. We hatch a selection from all of our breeds weekly, and usually have purebred chicks on hand for collection most weekends. Or you can place an order for any future chicks to have them hatched just for you. Chicks will need to be kept warm, if you don't have a broody hen, they will need to be kept warm in an artificial brooder with a heat lamp, we have shavings and chick feed and feeder set as required once you are set up. |
If you want chicks to go under a broody hen, this will need to be done fresh after any hatching, and also before your hen leaves her nest while she is still sitting, so she accepts the chicks as her own. |

Rearing Ducklings. .
You will need to keep these wee cuties warm and dry for approx 3 weeks [ + depending on the weather ] with a small shallow dish for drinking water only, then they can be put outside in a warm dry house [ if weather is warm enough ] with a shallow water source for swimming and drinking.
Warning: Ducks & ducklings can not jump out of a bath tub full of water they will get tired and drown.. we recommend using a child's padding pool or similar with some bricks as steps, inside & out so they can climb out.
Do not give baby ducklings any water for swimming until they are much older (once feathered up) only shallow drinking water to start with.
