Chicks!

Name A Chick!

As part of our kids' National History Day fundraiser, they are asking sponsors to name their chicks.  If you are interested in this option, you can choose among these chicks. Unless you request otherwise, your chick's name will be listed here and you will be listed as the sponsor.

The first three breeds were purchased as hens, with 90% accuracy.  That means you may name a hen only to find out later that it is a rooster.  The White Crested Black Polish were purchased straight run, which means they could be hens or roosters.  We are raising chickens for eggs, but we will keep them even if they are roosters.

If you'd like to name one of these chicks, please see the fundraising page for more information.

Note:  Some of the leg band colors changed when we switched bands to a bigger size.
