BACKYARD POULTRY FLOCK ORDERS
*ALL BACKYARD POULTRY PICKUP DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
UPDATES AFFECTING BACKYARD POULTRY ORDERS:
@ MAY 25, 2020
WHITE ROCK MEAT CHICKS — There are a few white rocks still available for May 28th pickup date and any pickup dates beyond that should be good supply at this point.
EGG LAYER CHICKS (brown or white) — IMPORTANT: We sincerely apologize, but there are NO EGG LAYER CHICKS AVAILABLE from our hatchery supplier this year due to the pandemic restrictions that the hatching egg supplier is adhering to — We are not taking any orders for layer chicks at this time.
Our hatchery’s hatching-egg supplier has suspended all of their outside sales of both eggs and chicks until the pandemic is over, leaving our hatchery with no supplier for any layer chicks in Ontario at this time. There is a chance, albeit slight, that the hatchery might be able to purchase hatching eggs sometime later this year should the Ontario government continue to ease restrictions — There are no guarantees and we are very sorry.
TURKEY POULTS — Hatchery is sold out of large white turkey poults for May 28th and June 11th pickup dates; Good supply of large white turkey poults beginning with June 25th hatch/pick update and beyond. Mini Classic turkey poults are sold out for May 28th and June 11th pickups; Good supply of mini classic turkey poults for 25th hatch/pickup date and beyond. Availability is always dependent upon hatch performance and hatching egg supply moving forward.
SPECIALTY & CALL DUCKLINGS — IMPORTANT — Due to unforeseen circumstances at the hatchery’s duck breeder, they have CANCELLED ALL PLACED SPECIALTY AND CALL DUCKLING ORDERS (except Pekins) FOR ALL MAY & JUNE PICKUP DATES AND BEYOND until they find out if the breeders will produce sufficient quantity of eggs to start taking duckling orders again — We will post here when we know.
PEKIN DUCKLINGS and GOSLINGS are still on track at this time for the pickup dates noted on our order forms — Availability is always dependent upon hatch performance and hatching egg supply.
GUINEA HEN KEETS — Due to some supply issues which brought on a number of logistical issues, the guinea hen keet supplier, Bird’s Eye View Game Farm, has decided to take over all the sales of all guinea hen keets starting immediately. NO GUINEA HEN KEETS AVAILABLE FOR JUNE 4th or JUNE 11th HATCHES. They assure you that every order that our hatchery had in place will be filled and they will be directly contacting customers shortly to determine if they are still interested in the keets they have ordered, and if so will advise you of any new hatch date. Any new guinea hen keet orders should now be directed to Bird’s Eye Game Farm — 905-349-3008 — or — 905-376-1745 cell; www.birdseyeviewgamefarm.com — All invoicing and payments will be made directly to them. Our hatchery will deliver the keets to us for you to pickup at the store — but there will be no keet deliveries on either June 4 or June 11th. Availability will be dependent upon hatch numbers.
READY-TO-LAY PULLETS — IMPORTANT: ***Ready-to-Lay orders already placed with us for anticipated pickup in June/July are now looking at, hopefully, sometime in AUGUST as demand is up exponentially across the Province and availability is way down, with limited supply at our source. ***Previously-placed orders will be filled in the order that payment was received.
— We are working on a waiting list only for any laying hen orders placed now and are looking at late summer as soonest timeframe for possible availability as demand has increased exponentially.
PLEASE NOTE ***We’re not taking any payments on ready-to-lay pullet orders placed now as we’re oversold for what we believe might be available.

Wright’s Feeds ‘N Needs offers Day-Old Meat Chicks and Layer Chicks as well as Turkey Poults, Ducklings, Goslings, Pheasants, Call Ducklings and Guinea Keets which are available to order.
We recommend placing all orders early this year as there is an unprecedented, exponential increase in demand for backyard poultry orders being placed with us and everywhere else in the Province. This is mostly due to the current Covid-19 situation, plus hatching eggs are in short supply and hatching percentages are coming in lower and slower than normal. The hatchery we work with is hoping to maintain their hatch dates for day-old meat chicks to the best of their ability, but the date you wish might be later than anticipated or what is typical for us any other year — Your patience and understanding through all this is much appreciated.
Order pick-up dates at our store are scheduled from April through late summer/fall, depending on the breed’s laying season.
