Arkansas state law requires a minimum purchase of six chicks per order. All chicks are local pickup only in Hot Springs, Bismarck, Malvern, or Arkadelphia—no shipping available. Payment is cash only at pickup.

Chicks are sold as straight run, meaning they are unsexed and could be a mix of males and females. The only exception is our Bielefelders and Cream Legbar chicks, which are auto sexing and can be identified as male or female at hatch.

For the health and safety of our flocks, we maintain strict biosecurity, especially due to Aaron’s high value racing pigeon breeders. We do not allow visitors to our homestead, but Ashley is happy to offer a FaceTime tour to showcase our flocks and setup before purchase.
