Huxley’s Homestead hatches chicks once per week during the hatching season.

When you place an order for chicks, please add in the notes section of your order when you would prefer to have your order shipped if there is a preference. Please reach out to us before placing your order to see our estimated wait times if you are wanting your chicks ASAP, as orders are filled in the order in which they were placed. We set eggs specifically for orders placed.

Huxley’s Homestead’s official policy is that we do not issue refunds or cancellations on orders placed unless we are unable to complete an order within the selected shipping year. You agree to these terms and conditions at checkout when placing an order through us.

Shipping:

– We are NPIP Certified and are shipping nation-wide.
– From February until May, orders have a shipping minimum of 10 chicks to ensure that chicks stay warm enough during transit. During the warmer months, we drop the minimum to 6 chicks. For Local Pickup, the minimum is 2 chicks per order.  

– Chicks are sent the day after hatch and packed with Gro-gel, feed, and heat packs to ensure they stay hydrated and warm during their trip. Chicks are sent Express through USPS and typically take 1-2 days to arrive. Shipping is a flat rate of $65 per box. This includes the cost of shipment, shipping box, shipping pad, Gro-gel, and heat packs for the chicks. One box holds up to 25 chicks. Any order over 25 chicks will require a second shipping box.

Pick-Up: 

– We are always available for pickup at the homestead and will also meet within 30 minutes of Pineville, KY for those customers who are further out. We are happily flexible for longer distances, but there will be a $60 minimum.

As a reminder, you can view information about our breeds here.

*Prices are per chick. Chicks are straight run only.

Huxley’s Homestead offers hatching eggs per dozen or half dozen.

Shipping:

– We are NPIP Certified and are shipping nationwide.

– Please include your preferred ship/pickup date in the notes section of your order. If you leave the notes section blank, your eggs will be shipped out once the order is available and filled.

– Eggs orders ship out Monday-Wednesdays. If we are not able to ship out your order for the date you desired we will reach out to schedule the next available option. Once shipped, the eggs typically arrive in 1-3 business days.

– Our eggs are packaged with the utmost care and are the same eggs we personally use to hatch our chicks with a 90%+ hatch rate. Please remember that 50% development rate from shipped eggs is widely accepted as the standard, but you may see more or less. The reality is once your package leaves our farm, the United States Postal Service is in control of your eggs.  In the past, our customers have had excellent service and hatch rates, but there is never a guarantee.  We place our trust in the hands of every USPS worker across the United States.  Therefore, Huxley’s Homestead cannot be held responsible for the care of your eggs during shipping or hatch rates.

– Incubation care recommendations are included!
