Click here to see our Chick Plan for the Spring

All chicks are vaccinated for Mareks.

Our Pullet Guarantee: When we get chicks from another hatchery, they come with a 90% accuracy in sexing. We realize that most people want hens only. So we offer a guarantee. If you happen to get a rooster that was supposed to be a pullet, bring him back. We will either trade him for another chick, or give you credit toward another chick the next time you add to your flock. Please be aware that we will rarely have same age chicks to trade for your rooster.

We now offer all the equipment and supplies needed to successfully brood your own chicks and care for your flock!

Little Birdie Hatchery Feeds:
We have partnered with Mule City Feeds to design and produce locally sourced feeds for the backyard flock. The grains that go into our feeds are grown in North Carolina, they are fresh, mixed in small batches, and use the highest quality ingredients.

LBH Super Chick Starter 23%: This chick starter has 23% protein. The highest available. The vitamins and minerals added exceed minimum daily nutritional requirements.
25 lb bag: $12.95
50 lb bag: $20.95
or by the pound @ $1/lb

LBH Happy Hen Natural Whole Grain Layer Ration: This layer ration is based on a whole grain diet that more fully engages the digestive system of the layer, thus improving nutrient absorption. The protein content is 17%, which supports the typical eating habits of a backyard flock. It also has added flax seed for improved omega-3's in the eggs.

50lb bag: $17.95

Pine Bedding for the Coop and Brooder: We have discovered a locally produced pine shaving product, specifically manufactured for animal care. These shavings are made in North Carolina using North Carolina trees. It is made directly from the raw product and is not a by-product from another process. Check out their website for a more complete description: The Beaver Bag

$7.95 per bag. Expands to 9.0 cu.ft.

Quantity Discounts
3 to 9 bags: $6.95 per bag
10 or more bags: $5.95 per bag

Fertile Hatching Eggs
We often have extra hatching eggs available. If you have a broody hen or would like to hatch your own, give us a call for availability and prices.

INCUBATION SERVICES
If you have your own fertile eggs that you would like incubated, we offer custom incubating for $1 per egg. Our incubator is state of the art and computer driven for optimum hatch rates. We will also place your eggs in a "heritage breed" basket within the hatching tray 3 days before the scheduled hatch. This insures that you get your own birds back from your own eggs.

We are always looking for new suppliers of fertile eggs. If you have a flock of pure breed standard size chickens, please let us know and we will add you to our breeders list.

A note about biosecurity: We take it seriously. The last thing we want to do is send you home with chicks that are carrying a disease. Unlike a farm supply store, our brooders are not open to the general public. If you do not currently have chickens, then no problem. You are welcome to go where you want and touch what you want. If you already have chickens, then we cannot let you into our coop. We also ask that you not handle any of the chicks until you have made the decision to purchase them. Regardless of the security measures we take, we still recommend that if you are adding new birds to an existing flock to observe a quarantine period of 4 to 7 days. This gives the majority of infections time to incubate and manifest symptoms before they have a chance to expose your flock.

Other Products Available:

Diatomaceous Earth (Red Lake Food Grade Agricultural Use): $2/lb.

Pictures taken from our own supply:

DE is a natural way to keep your Little Birdies free of pests and internal parasites. We add about 1 cup to every 50 lb. bag of feed. It keeps the feed bug free and will keep your birds clear of intestinal worms. We also add this to the dust bath to keep them free of mites and lice. Sprinkled on the nest boxes and over the coop litter, it will keep parasites and flies away. (Actually kills the insect larvae before they hatch.) Check out this informative video

Catawba Coop Chicken Tractor: $399 (Optional Wheel kit is $39)

These are made to order. They are based on the plans written by David Bissett. If you are interested in building your own coop, his plans are available at:

You can also see Mike building one of these at the following link:

The wheel kit has been refined from the one shown in the picture. The new kit is attached to the coop and is flipped under one side by foot.

Outdoor Trough Feeder: $79

These are made to order. They are my own design. I will eventually have plans available. We have a flock of 30+ laying hens. When we used the round hanging type feeders, we always had a lot of wasted feed. It adds up when you have as many birds as we do. Switching to the trough feeders has cut our feed bill in half.
