New Inventory Added
We’ve just added new inventory! If you’re planning to expand your flock, now’s a great time to check out the updated selections. Availability is limited and based on hatchery supply, so be sure to reserve your birds early to secure your preferred breeds.
About our flocks
We source our chicks from reputable NPIP-certified hatcheries. They are vaccinated against Marek's disease and coccidiosis and fed high-quality food. Our brooder setup keeps the chicks on heat until they are 6 weeks old. Then, they are transferred to a protected run and coop area and kept separate until they go to their forever coop. Chicks raised together are not intermingled with other flocks.
At Fiastro Farms, we do our very best to fulfill every order with the exact breeds you’ve selected. That said, poultry is subject to Mother Nature and factors beyond our control. On rare occasions, hatching rates or seasonal conditions may result in inventory shortfalls. If this happens, we will notify you right away as soon as we are aware of the change and provide options, including a comparable breed substitution.
