Baby Chicks

Raising baby chicks is a wonderful learning and bonding experience for humans and chickens alike. It will take them approximately 4-5 months to reach physical maturity, and approximately 5-7 months to begin laying eggs, depending on the breed and the time of year. (All are sexed females unless otherwise noted.)

Baby Chicks are:

  • Up to 3 weeks old, as young as 2 days old
  • Baby chicks must be kept in a brooder indoors with proper supplies until fully feathered around 6 weeks from the date of hatching.
  • Vaccinated for Marek’s Disease using the most complete 4-strain vaccine, and administered in-ovo or within 24 hours of hatch by professionals. Hatched at NPIP Certified Hatcheries.
  • Sexed and guaranteed females with a 95% success rate, except crested and bantam breeds.
  • Approximately 4-5 months to reach physical maturity
  • Approximately 5-8 months, or 20- weeks, to begin laying eggs, depending on the breed and the time of year
  • Please read our Guarantee & Refunds/Exchange Policy

Care Guidance

As babies, chicks are very delicate and require extra special care and supplemental heat. Keep them in a brooder, clean their space regularly, and check on them often until they are fully feathered and ready to go outside to live in a chicken coop, usually around 6 weeks old.

Purchase our Brooder Supplies Package and a bag of Chick Starter Crumbles to ensure you have everything you need to keep your new baby chicks healthy.
