What You Need to Know
-
Unsexed Chicks: Sold as-is, with gender becoming more obvious as they grow (usually between 6–12 weeks you can begin to tell hens from cockerels). Buyers must plan ahead for roosters, as we are unable to take them back.
-
Brooder and Heat Required: All chicks under 6 weeks of age need a warm, secure brooder with a heat source. Chicks are usually fully feathered and more independent by around 6 weeks of age and able to go outside.
-
Chickens Need Friends: We recommend purchasing at least three chicks so they can grow together and develop properly as a flock.
-
Pickup or Transport: Pickup is available most days, or you are welcome to arrange your own transport (please see our terms and conditions).
These chicks are an ideal choice for families, backyard keepers, or anyone wanting a unique and colourful egg basket down the track. With each bird being a little different in looks and personality, they make for a lively and rewarding flock.
