Backyard Chickens

For Companionship & Egg Laying
Backyard chickens enjoy human interaction and lay a beautiful egg about once each day that packs more nutrients and flavor than any other eggs. Our chicks are sourced from the best nationwide hatcheries, vaccinated for Marek's Disease, and raised in a low-stress and biosecure environment. Your online order will be fulfilled by our farmers who select your chickens using a 5-point inspection for the breed, age, sex, and wellness. We guarantee the health and sex of your birds with our Healthy Hen Guarantee.
All chickens sold by Dare 2 Dream Farms are sourced from NPIP Certified Hatcheries and are:
-
H5/H7 Avian Avian Influenza Clean
-
Salmonella Monitored
-
Pullorum-Typhoid Clean
Choose Your Chickens
Select from days-old chicks in an indoor brooder, young coop-ready chickens that can go directly into an outside coop, or pullets and adult chickens that are closer to maturity and egg laying. You may choose a variety of breeds or stick to one or two, but we recommend ordering only from one age group to encourage harmony in the flock. All chickens are sold as sexed females unless explicitly listed as roosters or unsexed chickens.
Be sure you select the proper supplies to care for the age of the chickens you select.

Pullets

Adult
Chickens
Adult chickens are fully grown at 18 weeks old and, depending on the breed and time of year, will lay within just a few short months.
