Can I buy day old chicks?

Ask about current availability and the age and care needs of any birds before ordering. Day-old chicks require appropriate brooding equipment, chick feed and close monitoring, and sexing may be uncertain. Do not assume the website guarantees availability or a future sex. Prepare the brooder and seek experienced guidance before chicks arrive.
