Begin Your Flock or Add New Members

Whether you’re looking to grow your flock or start a new one, you can find live birds and supplies for them in our selection. We follow best practices in biosecurity, chicken care and poultry education to provide you with high-quality live birds for your needs, such as:

Chickens

If you’re a backyard chicken keeper, you can find live chickens and egg-hatching chick breeds in our selection. We have chickens for different purposes, including egg layers with various production rates and meat birds. To help you find the perfect match, we offer breeds with different temperaments, hardiness and other characteristics, from Rhode Island Reds and Australorps to Copper Maran and Bantam chickens.

Ducks

If you own a farm or homestead, you probably deal with your fair share of pests. Fortunately, ducks can help with pest control by eating large amounts of insects such as slugs, worms, beetles and other critters. You can find live ducks for sale in our inventory of live poultry, whether you want quacking friends for controlling pests, laying eggs or other purposes. We have several different breeds to choose from, such as Peking, Cayuga, Buff, Black Swedish and other popular choices.

Turkeys

If you’re looking to add turkeys to your farm for producing meat or for controlling pests, you can find live options here. We have Broad Breasted Bronze and Broad Breasted White turkeys, which can be raised for meat, as well as assorted turkey options.

Guineas

Another type of live bird we carry is guinea fowl. Guineas are birds that can help with pest control by eating deer ticks, but they can also be raised for their meat and eggs.
