Variety is the Spice of Life!
Our Feeder Chicks come straight from a small midwestern hatchery. We use a variety of Heritage breeds, so your chicks will be a rainbow of colors - not just boring old yellow! These are hatchery overruns, usually males of egg-laying breeds, which have no other useful purpose than to feed to your animals.
Chicks live on absorbed egg yolk for the first few days post hatch, and are not fed anything - giving you a cleaner chick with less fecal matter.
Our Feeder Chicks are handled gently, euthanized humanely and safely, and quick-frozen for optimum freshness and nutrition.
Day-Old Feeder Chicks offer approximately 17% protein on an as-fed basis, a Calcium:Phosphorus ratio of 1.4:1, and are a good source of iron, potassium, and copper.
Day-Old Feeder Chicks weigh approximately 1 oz. each, and are packaged 20 per bag.
The Large Box contains 800 chicks (40 bags of 20 chicks), and INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the contiguous 48 United States! Save $10 over buying two Small Boxes!
