— Quotes
On record.
These are pre-cleared, attribute as written. Custom quotes are available within twenty-four hours of a request — email below.
On scale
"We are deliberately small. The day we hatch a million birds is the day we stop being able to tell you which hen they came from. That trade-off isn't worth it."
On the closed flock
"Every chick we ship can be traced back to a banded foundation hen we hold ourselves. No middlemen, no sub-sourced eggs, no surprises in the genetics."
On shipping
"We have shipped over a million chicks. Live arrival is not a marketing line. It is the whole job."
