How to Prepare for your Chicks Arrival

Choosing your Chicks

Decide what breeds will work best for your needs. Are you looking for eggs, meat production or a little of both? Determine how many and what sex you would like. Place your order. It is that simple. Should you have a question, call us. You will get a real person!

Prepare your Brooder

Be prepared. Chicks have a lot of requirements that must be provided to them. Have your bedding, feeders, waterers, feed, and source of heat set up and ready to go. Always have a thermometer.

Watch them Grow

Properly maintain your birds’ environment. Provide them with clean litter and additional space as they grow. This will ensure a successful poultry experience. Enjoy!

Poultry Quantity Minimums

All poultry is hatched on Tuesday and shipped on Tuesday or Wednesday. To ensure safe shipment, we do not ship less than 25 chicks. You can mix and match Chicks, Ducks, Turkeys, and Guineas to meet your minimum. Pheasants and Chukars require a minimum of 35 for shipping.

Dunlap Hatchery’s Happy Customers

Went with some friends to buy some chicks. Very helpful staff with almost all the things you need to start raising chickens. They handled the store very well for the amount of people, and the employees were nice. I would definitely go there again for chicks.
