Laying hens are available!
With the recent egg shortage we, at Volcanic Homestead, wanted to become a more self-sustaining homestead, therefore we are adding baby FEMALE laying HENs to our products. These hens are fully vaccinated and lay almost everyday!
You will not be charged for your purchase until we have called you to confirm your order—this is your opportunity to “reserve” them for purchase. We recommend you purchasing at least 3 chickens because they are such social creatures--they need friends!
Available now!
Bielefelder - (picture 5) they are extremely friendly chickens—we have several currently free-ranging on our homestead and they love to follow us around. They can lay about **185 large brown eggs per year!
Considerations before reserving/purchasing chickens:
- Have a safe, appropriate sized enclosure to keep them warm in for their first few weeks of life.
- Have a warming lamp ready and installed over one end of their enclosure.
- Have feed and water containers and supply on hand before pickup.
- Chickens make great pets but children should be supervised when around young chicks.
- Plan to take your chicks straight home after picking them up.
Note: Placing a reservation/pre-order for hens is not a guarantee for fulfillment of the requested number and type of hen. Due to the nature of working with live animals, it is possible that we may be unable to fulfill some requests. Requests will be filled in the order of received reservations. Rest assured that you will not be billed for your order until your chicks are confirmed as available prior to pick up.
