Description
These chicks are for delivery on Monday 5th May 2025 from our collection points in Oamaru, Waimate or Timaru.
We receive our brown shaver day-old chicks from a reputable hatchery here in the South Island. They are sexed before arrival (all female), and they’ve been vaccinated against Marek’s disease as well as had their first dose of a salmonella vaccine.
Chickens are flock animals, so we strongly recommend purchasing a minimum of three.
Until they grow feathers (approximately six weeks), chicks will require a reliable heat source such as a heat plate or lamp. Chick starter feed is also recommended for optimal growth and prevention against coccidiosis.
We are happy to advise you on options for a cosy, warm set-up and send you in the right direction for any other goods you may need to purchase before your chicks arrive – please get in touch with any queries you may have.
*please note that chick availability is subject to chicks arriving with us from the hatchery and may be subject to change. If this is the case, we will be in touch with you prior to delivery day*
