BACKYARD CHICKENS
Each month in the spring and fall we have a ‘Chick Day!’ Our next chick day will be in late February TBD.
Baby chicks come to us in the mail having just hatched; they are one day old, and can be picked up any day starting Friday morning. Email us at ufo@urbanfarmoasis.org, letting us know how many chicks you want of each breed, and your phone number. We will follow up with a call to confirm the order and get payment to reserve the chicks.
Besides Chicks, we sell everything for your coop! We have galvanized waterers, feeders, nesting box blends, a wide assortment of chicken supplements, and of course organic chicken feed.
CHICK DAYS & BREEDS
All chicks come from a small hatchery called Belt Hatchery located in Fresno. The hatchery guarantees that 90% of the sexed chicks will be female (hens lay the eggs, after all!) If you want to be absolutely sure to not get any roosters, get the Gold or Black Sex-Linked; they are 99-100% guaranteed to be female. The chicks are vaccinated for Marek’s. They are $10 each.
