Day Old Brown Shaver Chicks from Appletons

If you are looking for hens that lay lots of lovely brown eggs then these are the chicks for you!

Chicks will need to be kept warm in a brooder box with a warm area (heat lamp or Brinsea heat plate or Comfort heat plate as a heat source) where they can sleep and a cooler area they can feed and drink. Until they are fully feathered and the weather starts to warm up they will need to be kept indoors or in a shed. Happy to show the buyer what to do and what they need to eat etc. We recommend Weston Milling Chicks Choice as the optimum feed to grow good, healthy chicks. Weston feed contains the right type of proteins (animal proteins).

IMPORTANT
Please note there is a small possibility the pick-up date could change. We will notify you via email on hatch day if the hatchery experiences a short hatch. This only happens once in a blue moon however it is worth knowing. If you live out of town it is always best to give us a call before you head out to confirm the chicks have arrived.
Never count your chicks until they have hatched!!

WHAT TO BRING FOR PICKUP
Please bring a small box with some kitchen paper towel on the bottom. A small box (shoe-box size) is best as the chicks will stay warmer 😊
