Backyard chickens for sale at our Merricks farm

Every hen we sell is raised here on the farm, and our purebred chicks are DNA sexed by a NATA certified lab, so you take home hens, not roosters. Ages and numbers change every week, so the quickest way to find your perfect chooks is to have a chat with us.

Our rooster guarantee: if a chick you buy from us ever turns out to be a rooster, bring him back as soon as you notice and we'll give you a full refund or a replacement hen. Thanks to DNA sexing, it very rarely happens.
