welcome to the 2024 season!
Pending weather, our goal is to start shipping in April or May.
Our plan is to start filling BRC local orders this month. However, we will be monitoring current situation in regard to movement of birds. Due to limited hatching at the start of the season, some BRC local orders may be postponed to April. We will start filling custom chick orders in April or May. We will keep you posted.
