We’re excited to officially open our brooders for the 2026 season! If you’ve been waiting to plan your spring flock additions, now is the time. This year’s early lineup includes some of our most requested breeds:
• Salmon Faverolles
• Starlight Greens
• Buff Orpingtons

As always, our pullets are NPIP-certified and raised with care right here at Fiastro Farms. We do not hold birds between raises due to biosecurity protocols, so if you’re purchasing from multiple pickup dates, please plan accordingly.

Pickup dates and breed availability are clearly listed on each product page.
