OUR TERMS
We are not a hatchery; this is our hobby. At certain times of the year, we may have hatching eggs or birds available help with feed costs. Here's how it works:
ALL birds & hatching eggs are PICKUP ONLY outside our gate or an arranged transport service. We're not offering shipping through USPS at this time.
SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY. Messaging us with interest does not constitute us holding eggs/birds for you. If you do not set up a reasonable date and time OR you're not responsive, we'll move onto the next person with interest.
Please bring your own pet carrier or box if you are picking up live birds. Hand-warmers are perfect for keeping chicks warm during transport.
For biosecurity reasons, we cannot take back a bird once it has left our property under any circumstances. This includes birds that have hatched from our eggs.
We cannot determine the sex of unsexed chicks or hatching eggs. It is your responsibility to have a plan for any cockerels you can't keep. We encourage folks to explore humane and sustainable options.
We do not offer refunds on hatching eggs. We do our due diligence to set our eggs up for success. Weβre regularly doing hatches for the betterment of our own stock so fertility is checked often. Even then, duds can happen for reasons out of our control. Replacement eggs may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Grow-Outs are considered birds over 1 month of age and are available mostly as leftovers from birds we haven't placed yet. We do not take reservations for grow-outs or requests to grow out a bird to adult size. We simply do not have the space.
Payment: Cash or Venmo. All money goes into feed and supplies for the birds.

BACKYARD BORBS
English Orpington, Bantam Orpington, & OEGB
NPIP 12-287 π Hudson, NH
Our primary goal is to create the ideal chicken for suburban and urban keepers to the Standard of Perfection in our breeds. A bird that enjoys human contact, is reasonable enough for noise ordinances, and is versatile in the sustenance it provides us, whether that means eggs, meat, or a constant source of smiles. If we can make chicken keeping accessible to more people, then at the end of the day, we're accomplishing what we've set out to do.It also goes without saying, but we aim for the absolute roundest feather look with our orps. For it is what makes an Orpington a 'borb'. And borbs are an excellent source of joy.
2024 Goals
β Build the Crele Orpington breeding clans for clean partridge.
β Lemon Cuckoo F1 growouts
β Bantam Orpington growouts
β Crele OEGB improvement (and projects)
