Buff Brahma Chicken
$23.00 – $25.00Price range: $23.00 through $25.00
Buff Brahma chickens are gentle giants with feathered legs. The Buff Brahma chickens have mostly buff coloring but have black tail feathers and neck feathers with black in them. They lay nice brown eggs and are winter hardy. The Buff Brahma chicken is slow to mature but are gentle and make good mothers. Brahmas are very cold tolerant and adapt to most climates because of their heavy body and thick feathering. The Brahma breed also does well in the summer months if there are shade and cool water available all day. The feathered legs and feet can collect mud in the rainy weather, and snow in the winter. Keep an eye on their feet and clean them if needed. The Brahmas stand out in a flock due to their large size. The rooster can weigh up to 12 pounds and the hen close to 10. Hatchery’s® Buff Brahma bloodline is a mixture of exhibition/show type and production type. They have a big carcass for butchering, are below average for laying production but make great brooding hens for setting and hatching out baby chicks. Brahmas make some of the best mothers for brooding baby chicks. Be sure to order these early to reserve your Buff Brahma chickens.

Then buy more baby chicks for sale from Hatchery® to keep the cycle going. This accomplishes the most efficient cost to feed ratio to raise chickens. Most chicken breed charts will list the Buff Orpington chicken as a dual purpose bird that lay a medium brown egg. Even though the Buff Orpington chicken is a very heavy and large bird, this does not always mean the bigger the hen the larger the egg. Buff Orpingtons make excellent broody mothers for baby chicks.

Cinnamon Queen™ Chicken
$20.00 – $21.00Price range: $20.00 through $21.00
The Cinnamon Queen™ is one of two modern day production brown egg laying strains developed from hybrid breeding from Hatchery® that produce fast body development, fast egg production and rich brown egg shell color. These strains will start to lay eggs at a younger age than most standard heritage breeds and produce big large/extra-large brown eggs. They are also color sexable as chicks for the first generation which are the chicks you will receive. Cockerel chicks are white and the pullet chicks are more brownish red in color. Leg color is mostly yellow but a few may have some greenish color. Feathering color varies with brownish feathers and white feathers on the adult hens. Feathering color varies from totally white to white with light to dark red feathers in shoulder feathers in the adult rooster. Chicks from the second generation will not be color sexable and will come in multiple colors. The parent stock is made from a proprietary Hatchery® bloodline/strain of the straight combed variety Rhode Island Red production type male and the straight combed variety Rhode Island White production type female. Our Cinnamon Queens™ will look and perform very close to the ISA Brown™ bloodline. So book these early because they are a high demand layer for farm use with egg production.

Delaware Chicken
$23.00 – $25.00Price range: $23.00 through $25.00
Originated and developed in the state of Delaware USA in the 1940’s and admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in 1952. The Delaware is a dual purpose chicken with a single comb and a layer of brown eggs. Plumage is nearly white with black feathers around the neck and tail and the bird is a rapid grower. Origin comes from a hatchery man crossing Rock-Reds and occasionally a white colored chick would be in a tray considered to be an “off color” a “sport.” These white chicks grew very fast and big and, after of years of breeding the white offspring, they eventually became consistent with their color and color patterns and became a standard breed. In the 1980’s and 1990’s very few of these pure Delaware flocks still existed. Only in the last 15 years has this breed made a comeback. Hatchery® is proud to be a long time breeder of this beautiful chicken. Our original stock came from Colonial Poultry Farms in Pleasant Hill, Missouri which has long been out of business.

Dominique Chicken
$20.00 – $21.00Price range: $20.00 through $21.00
This chicken has been around in the old English history long before poultry standards existed. Originated date is unknown and many of today’s recognized breeds were developed by using Dominique bloodlines. Sometimes referred to as a “Dominecker” chicken that grandma and grandpa had on their chicken farm. Dominique chicken breeders were well known in the USA during the mid-eighteenth century. By 1950 the Dominique chicken was thought to be extinct and revived again in 1970’s. The Dominique chicken is often confused with the Barred Rock chicken which has a straight comb and slightly straighter and darker barred markings. Dominique’s are a great bird with a notable rose comb, barred feathering similar to the Barred Plymouth Rock and a dual all-purpose chicken. Dominique chickens are generally calm, a gentle breed that makes for a good choice for raising free range chickens because of their barred feather pattern that is thought to offer some protection from aerial predators. Hatchery’s® Dominique chicken flocks are a production type breeding program here at Hatchery. Mark Field was instrumental in providing Hatchery some seed stock decades ago. Mark passed in January 2021 and he will be missed by many in the poultry breeder world. We are sure you would like them for your chickens in the backyard. We sell these chicken for sale online cheap (cheep, cheep). Enjoy!

Easter Egger™ Chicken
$20.00 – $23.00Price range: $20.00 through $23.00
The “Easter Egger™” chicken originally came from Chile in South America, discovered by the Araucana Indians. The true pure Araucana chicken is rumpless (tailless) , has a small curling tuft of feathers next to each ear and come in different pure color types. The true pure Ameraucana chicken has a tail, full beard and comes in pure color types. The Easter Egger chicken is different because they have a full beard under the beak rather than a tuft and have a tail rather than rumpless and do NOT have pure color types. Hatchery® breeding program objectives for the “Easter Egger™” chickens are to produce chickens with a wide variety of feather colors, patterns and feather combinations of colors with a full beard under the beak and high egg production of colorful egg shells. The color of their egg shells vary from pale blue chicken eggs to dark blue to various shades of green and a few light brownish/pink eggs. The meat is delicious and it has a taste similar to quail. We do not offer a specific color variety of this breed; however we do breed for a wide variety of colored feathers and egg colors. The Araucana chicken and Ameraucana chickens have a number of different color patterns being worked on all across the USA and are being shown in poultry shows. The Easter Egger™ chickens are great chickens for backyards, chicken coops, larger chicken houses and for raising free range chickens.

French Black Copper Marans Chicken
$32.00 – $35.00Price range: $32.00 through $35.00
The French Black Copper Marans are a rare breed not often seen in the United States. An import ban reduced the genetic diversity of the French Black Copper Marans and flocks of this chicken are therefore hard to find.

Due to the rarity of this breed, limited quantities are available so order yours as soon as possible and contact us to find out when new chicks are available.

French Black Marans Chicken
$32.00 – $35.00Price range: $32.00 through $35.00
The rich, black feathers that give the French Black Marans its name also give it a distinct difference from its sister Marans chickens. Like the other Marans chickens, this breed produces dark brown eggs other chickens cannot duplicate. Also, like the other Marans breeds, it originates from the Marans region of France, and a poultry import ban limited the number of Marans chickens in the U.S., making it a rare breed. Hatchery® produces a limited number of these fine black chickens each year. Order yours in advance to add this rare chicken to your flock. Our cackle flock lays egg shell colors of 5-8 on the French Marans Egg color chart found in the gallery.

French Black Tailed Red Marans
$32.00 – $35.00Price range: $32.00 through $35.00
This line was established from birds selected by prominent breeders throughout the US and is still a project in the works. Hatchery started this project in 2016 along with some bloodlines from Bill Grover. The hens are capable of laying eggs as dark as any other Marans. Selection should reflect a balance of type, egg color, as well as the chestnut feather color of the New Hampshire. The French Standard suggests the variety should, “correspond to those of the New Hampshire breed in color”.

French Golden Salmon Marans Chicken
$23.00 – $25.00Price range: $23.00 through $25.00
The Golden Salmon Marans (Project) rooster plumage is very different than the hen’s which corresponds to it. It is close to the brown-red plumage but it is especially very similar to the froment (french term for wheat or wheaten) cock’s. It also has a coppery finery on a black plumage background to which is added a citananon-fawn colored wing miror and not the black miror of the brown-red variety. The breast must be black with a duller black abdomen. The hackles and the lancets are coppery colored with variable tonalities (from orangery to golden-coppery shades) and possibly bordered or not with black flames. The back and the small of the back are auburn-red colored with dark and velvet red shoulders. The miror is of course fawn or cinnamon brown colored and made up of folded wing secondary remexs. The tail is black, the primary remexs are pure and black and they make the armband. The cock also has on the tail base on the rump, a tuft of ash-gray downy feathers. The hen has a hackle that is light golden colored with black tips on a salmon reddish-brown breast. This latter color is close to the gray tone around the belly underside and the tail and close to reddish tones on the thighs. Be careful, this salmon color of the breast is a fundamental mark of this genetic variety. It gives its name to the variety and allows to avoid all confusion with the real genetic “partridge” variety which never owns the least salmon tonality and which moreover seems not to exist in Marans. The coat is blackish-brown colored made up of a fine and blackish filigree on the feather. The coat shows a general warmer and brown tonality whereas that for the real “partridges”, their shades have a quite colder and darker tonality. The wing remexs as well as the tail candal are also blackish-brown with little brown dots.
