Q: Hens / unisex order? When will a mixture of male and female be available

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. We only offer a male, female or unsexed option. If you want them to lay fertilized eggs and hatch more chicks, you should buy the unsexed chicks so you get a mix of males and females. If you just want unfertilized eggs, you should purchase all females. There isn't an exact ratio of males to females in the unsexed chicks, you would just receive a random assortment. If you're hoping to purchase just 1 male, I would suggest purchasing the females and then reaching out to Hoover's Hatchery. They may be able to include 1 male in your order but it would be up their discretion/available inventory. ***HOOVER'S HATCHERY*** https://hoovershatchery.com/contact.html OR CALL 641-323-6100

Polish Crested Pullets

6 months ago
I was excited when the hatchery offered pullets. One didn't make it during shipping. Five more died within twelve hours of arrival. Out of the ten that shipped only four have survived. I was only refunded for one chick. I have ordered chicks before and usually get a bonus chick as a courtesy in case of loss. This batch there wasn't a bonus chick. It was the end of summer when I ordered so shipping was hard on them because they came from Texas. Overall, I have a lot of money invested for very little to show for it. I can say I was sent a variation of polish chicks, it's just too bad they didn't handle the travel better.
SweepstakesYes

No, I do not recommend this product.
