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?
Due to the ongoing avian influenza outbreak, we will give you your chicks in a cardboard box. If you have any boxes, we will gladly take them for the next customer. Shoebox sized or larger works great.
What days and times are pickups usually scheduled for?
Both Dan 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?
In order to place and order you need to order at least two chicks. Having a friend ensures the health of the birds. Breeds can be mixed and matched.
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. If further information is needed email kassie@the4fivefarm.com.
Do you have bantams?
We do NOT currently raise bantams as they usually cannot be sexed at hatching and they are too small to mix with our laying flock. If you are interested in bantam chickens, we recommend you contact Sonny Farms in Windsor. Jennifer breeds seramas and silkies among others. https://www.sonnyfarms.com/
