Sand Hill Preservation Center: Poultry Catalog. Updated on September 2. Hatch Weeks:  March 6, 2. April 3, 1. 7; May 1, 1. June 1. 2, 2. 6; July 1. August 7, 2. 1; September 4, 1.

We are in the twilight hours of the reality we have all formerly known, daunting challenges are now very near for us all. The current window of time is the most. City of West Palm Beach Development Services One of Florida’s most dynamic cities.

October 2, 1. 6, 3. No specific breeds may be ordered in September and October. We will only take orders for Assortments in September and October.) We have had a reduction in the number of breeds that we offer for 2. We had what some have termed a "Predator Apocalypse".

It started in the Fall of 2. Winter and early Spring turned into Summer, we had countless numbers of other poultry predators. We had a mink that refused to be caught despite a professional trapper's assistance and countless attempts. We learned that mink can get through an incredibly small hole and are very, very destructive. We also had skunks, fox, numerous raccoons and a badger, who did not get poultry but each night dug huge holes into the pens to allow everyone else in.

There were some mornings that there were so many different animal tracks around the pens that it was impossible to identify all of them as to what was eating what. All in all we lost all members of over 2. We eventually caught the adult raccoons and a pack of coyotes took care of the young raccoons. The early morning I saw the coyotes I nearly gave up hope that we would ever be able to raise poultry again as it seemed like yet another poultry eater was here for a feast.

We did not expect the coyotes to be there to help, but they did. We will update the breeds and numbers again after all breeders have been selected later in November, but this is how it looks at this point. Order limits:  The number in parenthesis after a breed is the maximum number of that breed that is available from any one hatch. PLEASE REMEMBER ALL DAY- OLD POULTRY IS SOLD AS STRAIGHT RUN ONLY.  WE DO NOT SEX ANY OF THE DAY- OLDS.  Since we do not sell sexed chicks, we have no control over what you receive as far as a male- female ratio. Ideally, it is supposed to be a 5. PLEASE NOTE MINIMUM NUMBER OF BIRDS REQUIREMENT BEFORE ORDERING!

You MUST order the equivalent of 2. This is required because the chicks will not stay warm enough to arrive alive at your Post Office if there are too few chicks in the box. There are some hatcheries, etc. We do not know how they are doing this or if it works.

The only option that we have to keep the chicks warm enough to ship is by the body heat of the chicks. Please do not ask us to ship less than this minimum requirement. We maintain a large number of full size chicken breeds.

Our assortments are nothig like anywhere else as you are more than likely to get more rare breeds than common ones. You will get a great chance to experience rare and heritage poultry without a great outlay of expense.

In fact I always recommend to first time chicken raisers to get an assortment and explore the world on their own and ignore all the internet reviews and recommendations on a particular breed. Do your own research and find your own favorite that matches with your climate, lifestyle, and personal interests. ASSORTMENTSASSORTED CHICKENS:  Chicks $1. This assortment may be made up from any of the breeds of large fowl chicks listed in our catalog.

You may receive anything from the most common to the rarest, depending upon what is left after specific breed orders have been filled. An order for 2. 5 chicks will usually include 4 or 5 different breeds.

ASSORTED HEAVY CHICKENS:  Chicks $1. No guarantee as to what will be included, but it will be from the following list. We will try to include at least 3 breeds, never will it be just 1 breed if your order more than 5 Assorted Heavy Chickens: Ameraucanas, Australorps, Barred Hollands, Buckeyes, Chanteclers, Cuckoo Marans, Delawares, Dominiques, Dorkings, Faverolles, Giants, Iowa Blues, Javas, New Hampshires, Orpingtons, Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Rhode Island Whites, Shamos, Spangled Russian Orloffs, Sussex, Welsummers, or Wyandottes. Most heavy breed chickens lay brown eggs. ASORTED LIGHT CHICKENS:  Chicks $1.

This will be from the following breeds. No guarantees, but will not be all of one breed if you order more than 5 Assorted Light Chickens. Anconas, Blue Andalusians, Buff Catalanas, Buttercups, Campines, Crevecouers, Cubalayas, Egyptian Fayoumis, Hamburgs, Icelandics, Kraienkoppes, La Fleche, Lakenvelders, Leghorns, Jaerhons, Minorcas, Polish, or Sumatras. Most light breed chickens lay white eggs. SUPER ASSORTED CHICKENS:  Chicks 2.

Sold in units of 2. Can be any of the full size breeds we offer. Will usually contain at least 6 breeds in an order of 2. AMERAUCANASAmeraucanas are sometimes called the "Easter Egg Chicken" because they lay green, blue or olive eggs as well as brown. Many places list "Araucanas" but they are really "Ameraucanas." Araucanas are rumpless and have ear tufts (tufts of feathers that grow from the ear).

Ameraucanas, however, have a tail and a beard or muff (which is a group of feathers located under the chin). Our mixed color Ameraucanas are not of APA Standard quality. They lay an assortment of colors of eggs though only eggs of "greenish" shades are incubated. Our Black Ameraucanas and Blue Ameraucanas are both selected for the APA Standard. While the APA Standard calls for a blue egg, I've yet to ever see in anyone's Ameraucana flock what I would call a "blue" egg. Most I've seen are shades of "greenish blue".

This is why we list ours as laying a greenish blue egg. Ameraucanas have a pea comb.

Ameraucana ("Easter Eggers") (MISC)  A mixture of types and colors. These are not exhibition stock, but are very good sized and make a hardy dual purpose fowl.

While we select for all breeders to have beards (muff of feathers under the chin), occasionally, some chicks will not. Egg color will vary between pale green, olive green, occasionally brown, or olive green with brown spots. Chicks $3. 2. 5 each (1. Black Ameraucana (MISC)  We were fortunate to obtain two different blood lines from show quality stock. These are pure black birds with beards and they lay greenish blue eggs.

Chicks $5. 5. 0 each (1. Blue Ameraucana (MISC)  Typical blue genetics. See Poultry Glossary Page for "Blue Genetics" explanation.) Bearded layers of blue green eggs. Chicks $5. 5. 0 (1.

AMERICAN BREEDSThis is an APA group based upon the principle that they were all developed and perfected here in North America. As a general rule these birds all have yellow skin and legs. The breeds in this class are listed in the APA Standard unless otherwise noted.
