A Delightful & Educational Farm Experience In Your Own Home
Foster A Chick
- Participants take a pair of baby chicks home to care for and then return to the farm after a couple weeks.
- Every spring Willow Haven orders hundreds of day old chicks which we raise for broilers and laying hens.
- These cute and fluffy chicks will be available to those who want to experience watching chicks grow and develop, which they do very quickly.
- Over the course of the two weeks, each will grow from fist-sized to about four times as large, and from down-covered to mostly feathered. Some may even be ready to practice flying when the 14 days are over.
- You may keep them as long as you like but two weeks is normal. If you keep them past 4 weeks you will need to buy their feed from us. But be warned: A full-grown hen might weigh 7 pounds, while a rooster could reach 9 pounds. There is no additional charge if a bird dies in your custody.
Do You Offer Foster a Chick Later In This Year?
We are a small family farm and only raise chicks in the spring. We might offer it again in May or June. Get on our waitlist for Foster A Chick announcements. Join the Waitlist Here.
