Chick Policy

Country Junction Farm & Feed Chick Policy

At Country Junction Farm & Feed, we prioritize the health and well-being of our chicks. To ensure transparency and mutual understanding, please review the following policies regarding your chick purchases for 2025:


Care and Responsibility

Once chicks leave our care, their well-being becomes the purchaser's responsibility. We ensure they are healthy and well-cared for at the time of purchase but cannot guarantee their condition once they leave the store.


Sexing Accuracy

Hatcheries sex pullet-run chicks with approximately 90% accuracy, but this is not guaranteed. Customers purchasing pullets should be aware that errors may occasionally occur.


Rooster Policy

We are no longer taking roosters for rehoming as of 2025


Bird Quality

While we strive to provide healthy chicks, we do not guarantee show-quality birds. Our focus is on supplying chicks for backyard flocks and personal enjoyment.


Vaccination

All chicks (excluding meat birds, turkeys, and waterfowl) are vaccinated against Marek’s Disease, giving them a healthy start.


Health and Liability

Once chicks leave the store, we cannot control their care or environment and assume no liability for their health or the health of other poultry or people they come into contact with.


In-Store Care

Chicks are monitored for 24 hours post-arrival to ensure they are healthy. If you choose to pick up chicks during this monitoring period, Country Junction Farm & Feed cannot be held responsible for their health after departure.
