Chick season typically begins in the spring and lasts through the summer months for most breeds of poultry. Where they differ, however, is how long that season lasts. For example, chickens and other types of poultry that are specifically bred for egg production may hatch chicks longer than those of more exotic breeds.
What sets Feathered Harvest Hatchery apart from many other hatcheries is that we allow Mother Nature to dictate chick season. That means we choose not to use artificial lights or other unnatural methods to keep our hens laying year-round. While this may not be the most convenient method, we believe it’s the right method for producing the best and healthiest chicks.
So, while chick season for each poultry breed may fluctuate based on Mother Nature, you can get a general idea of when to order chicks by viewing our availability chart.
