Frequently Asked Questions

We have done our best to answer the most common questions here, but if you do not see an answer to your question, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

  • We will offer all hatching eggs or chicks/ducks to our waitlist members first. While we do not ‘hold’ birds or eggs without a small deposit, we will reach out to the waitlist members to reserve birds or eggs before giving access to the general public.

  • Each breed begins laying at different times in the season. Once they have started laying, we will then start testing for fertility. Once we see very high fertility rates, that’s when we will begin to reach out to waitlist folks. Hatching eggs are not available for every breed, but we do our best to make them available, especially for critical breeds.

  • Each season, we start loading our incubators in early February for some breeds! Available hatch dates are shared when we get closer to hatch, typically ~1-2 weeks out. Stay tuned!

  • Call ducklings are priced based on color.

    • Gray, Blue Fawn, Black, Blue, Confetti*: $25

    • Apricot Silver, Butterscoth, Pastel, Penciled, Snowy, Magpie, White: $30

    *Confetti is just our way of saying “a fun color that doesn’t quite match any one color descriptor.” Often times these ducklings grow up to be some version of bibbed/pied with interesting markings.

  • We try to share as much of the process as possible on our farm social accounts, so please come find us on instagram, facebook, and even tiktok!

  • We don’t currently offer shipping for live animals, just hatching eggs.

  • All birds are sold as straight run, except Cotton Patch geese (which are an auto-sexing breed).

  • Our farm follows strict biosecurity rules as set out by the NPIP program, which means we are unable to take in birds from sources that are not also NPIP inspected and approved.

  • This year we have worked very hard to join the NPIP program, and are excited to offer hatching eggs and live birds to farms and backyard flock enthusiasts outside of NJ. Per the NPIP program, we practice strict biosecurity on our farm. New Jersey tests for Pullorum-Typhoid and Avian Influenza (H5/H7).

  • Our farm is NPIP# 22-460. We are PT clean and AI H5/H7 clean. You can look us up on the breeder registry for NJ state, which can be found here.

  • Ducks, Geese, and Chickens thrive in social environments. Where possible, we use minimums to ensure that new hatchlings are able to grow up in small groups that support their development.

    For smaller animals (bantam chickens and ducks), we have a minimum of 3. For standard size chickens and ducks, we suggest 3, but our minimum is 2. Auto-sexing geese are sold in pairs.
