Welsummer Chicks

Welsummers are of course known for their speckled eggs. As our breeding stock develops, we only hatch and keep hens that lay speckled or bloomed eggs.It is important to note that the same hen may not lay a speckled egg daily so you may receive some less textured eggs. But rest assured our flock has very speckled genetics. Our lines originate from Clutch of Color, Deer Run Farm, and Farmhouse of Blessings.

Because of focusing on egg color, auto-sexing our chicks cannot be guaranteed. Chicks are sold as straight run, but I will do my best to identify females for your order. 

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

A MINIMUM of 6 chicks are required to ship and a minimum of 2 for local pick up. Orders will be filled in the order they are received. If you have a certain timeframe you need to work with, such as vacations or brooder/incubator space, please include that in the “Order special instructions” notes upon checkout. All orders are shipped on a first-come first-serve basis. If you pre-order eggs or chicks in advance, the orders will be filled in the order they are received. If you pre-order eggs or chicks in the winter months, we generally do NOT start shipping until the weather is warm enough (usually March). When you check out, you agree to the fact that it can take several months before you receive your order of chicks or eggs. We do not guarantee any time frames. We do not have control over how often the hens lay, nor how many eggs they lay. With this in mind, please be flexible. We do our best to get them out as soon as we can. You will be contacted within a few days of when we are ready to ship your order. If you cannot accept your order, please let us know as soon as possible so we can move to the next person in line and reschedule your shipment.

There are NO cancellations or refunds on chicks. Payment is accepted at the time of the sale. Orders are shipped out as available or when discussed. Because we are dealing with animals and nature, the orders will be fulfilled in the order they were placed.

We strive to deliver healthy and live chicks but sometimes there are factors out of our control. We only offer refunds on chicks that do not make it in the first 24 hours or are deceased upon pickup. You must pickup your chicks from the Post Office within 2 hours of notice of arrival. If your chicks arrive deceased, please contact us immediately with pictures and we will refund the cost of the chicks. We do try to include extras and if extras are included, and there are deceased birds, a refund will not be given on extras. To keep your chicks healthy, do not mix them with other chicks from different orders or different ages for the first 48 hours. We are not responsible for refunds if they’ve been exposed to other chicks/chickens. If you do not wish to receive a refund and would like more chicks shipped to you as replacements, you are responsible for the additional shipping cost and we will ship replacements as soon as possible.
