How do I know what location to pick up at?
Your pick up location, either at the farm or at the home chick brooder, will be emailed to you at minimum 1 week before your scheduled pick up.
Should I bring a box or crate to pick up the chicks?
We will provide your chicks in a cardboard box. If you have any large boxes, we will gladly take them for the next customer.
What days and times are pickups usually scheduled for?
Both Daniel and Kassie have full time day jobs. Therefore, most pickups will be scheduled for nights or weekends.
Will my pickup be confirmed in advance?
Customers will receive an email from Kassie (kassie@the4fivefarm.com) approximately 1 week before scheduled pickup with information and confirmation.
Is there a minimum order amount?
Minimum order is three chicks from each hatch date. Having a friend ensures the health of the birds. Breeds can be mixed and matched within a given hatch date to reach the 3 bird minimum.
Do my chicks have to be the same age?
We recommend that when purchasing chicks under 5 weeks old they be with other chicks the same age, as they get older it is easier to mix age groups.
Do you have bantams?
We do NOT currently raise bantams, polish or silkies as they usually cannot be sexed at hatching (without a DNA test) and they are too small to mix with our laying flock.
