Laying hens in stock

Call 303-424-6455 if you have questions or you want to make sure of what is still available.

New Arrivals Just in time for the holidaysLaying Hens – Chickens – Christmas Special – only $25 each

We just got in 50 laying hens that are right at about a year old. They are coming out of molt so they are fully feathered out and about ready to start laying. These are some beautiful birds and they will sell out quickly.

If you are planing buying chickens for holiday gifts or to replenish your flock, here are some examples of this special buy:

BreedColor of eggs
Easter EggersBlue or green
AmeraucanasBlue or green
Black and Buff LeghornsWhite
Black StarsBrown
Golden CometsBrown
White RockBrown
Blue WyandottesBrown
Blue AmeraucanasBlue or green
Black AustralorpsBrown

We also have regularly stock live pullets for sale!

These chickens are at least 12 weeks old or older and are fully feathered out. They are ready to be outside in a coop. They will be laying fresh eggs very soon and should lay many eggs for you over the next two years or more.

They sell fast so call ahead if you are wondering about breeds in stock (they change all the time). These are great birds to start out with because they are past the critical baby chick age (you have a higher chance of loss with very young birds). But, they are young enough that it is still possible they may like to be held.
