The Chicks have Arrived!!
With great excitement our chicks have arrived!! We got 25 Black Australorps, 25 Shaver (Rhode Island Red / Barred rock cross), 31 White Rocks, and 33 Rhode Island Reds from Townline Hatchery in Zeeland, MI. We did lose two chicks last night, but that is considered pretty common (4% lost rate during shipping is normal).
We are looking to get this flock down to 60, so we are willing to sell some for $1.80 per chick (you pick -no shipping)- email me if your interested at chris@fortpatriot.com. We also have farm fresh brown eggs available for $2.00 a dozen at www.fortpatriot.com/Eggs.
The pullets are all considered very good brown egg layers and the cockerels are consider to be good meat birds at 12 weeks.
