Pick a Chick?

Selection

We make it easy

We make it easy for you to shop for chicks, ducklings, poults or goslings.  We source out some of the most reputable suppliers and make it easy for you to pick as many as you like.  Some can even be sexed, if you wish.

Choices

Pre-Order

Using us, you can choose from a wide variety of options.  Pre-ordering means as soon as they are predicted to hatch that your order is secure with us.  And you get priority based on your date of pre-order.  If what you ordered does not arrive, you can choose from what we have or wait for the next batch to hatch.

Peace of mind
