Partial Sell-out of Breeding Age Birds!
With the cost of feed rising we have decided to reduce the number of birds in our flock.
Because of this we have a rare offering of adult birds for sale, including a quad of Cameo BlackShoulders, 3 Cameo hens, 3 Purple BlackShoulder hens, 2 India Blue hens, a 50% Java Spalding cock, a BlackShoulder yearling cock, and a LOUD Pied (gorgeous!) yearling cock.

We are willing to sell and ship hatching eggs but due to the uncontrolable variables in shipping we cannot guarantee hatchablilty.
Pre-order and Pre-pay for 4 1-month-old chicks any color or colors and we will ship a 5th chick free.
Regular box charge and Express Mail shipping charges apply. For Virginia & states bordering Virginia we are usually able to ship month old via Priority Mail instead of Express Mail to save you $$.
Gender of peachicks can often be determined by about 6-8 weeks of age though every year we have a few that are
"in between" and take longer to be able to tell for certain what sex they are. The difference in males and females of the Black Shoulder and Wild Type Patterns are shown above. These examples are of Blues, some of the lighter colored birds are harder to determine and take longer to be certain. In general, Black Shoulders are easy to tell from the time they get their patterned feathers. Wild type birds all feather out with the barring of a male but females begin to loose the barring within a month or so, finally loosing it almost totally. Females USUALLY have lighter colored breasts than males but not always.
Greens, Spaldings and Whites are the exceptions. With white or green chicks it is either a "best guess'' formed by observation of the "attitude" and actions of the chick or a matter for DNA testing. Often they are 18 months old before you can tell visually.
