Welcome to our Poultry Page!

Our chicken and chick sales are over now for 2025. Thank you to all our customers and Frey's Hatchery for a wonderful and successful year!

Settlers Supplies will begin taking orders for live birds again in January 2026.

Stay tuned onto this page for updated price lists, dates and all the information you will need for buying birds next year. This page will be updated in December 2025.

The information below has NOT been updated yet for 2026. It is purely for reference for what you could expect for 2026.

Ordering:

Check the sold out information at the bottom of this page.

Deposit information 2025: A deposit of 25% of the total sale is required to secure your order at the time of booking. If you cancel or change your order after the deadline, you will forfeit your deposit. For example, the deadline to change or cancel your order is the Wednesday prior to the delivery date (Tuesday). For example, if your order is placed for Tuesday May 7th pickup, the last date to change or cancel your order is Wednesday May 1. If you cancel on Friday May 3rd, you will loose your 25% deposit because it is after the cancellation date.

Settlers Supplies Change/Cancellation Policy: The hatchery has to plan out the live birds carefully. We ask that you provide as much notice as possible if your plans change. You can change or cancel your order up until 6 days prior to the delivery date. If you cancel your order before the 6 day prior, you can get a full refund of your deposit. Changes or cancellations made after the cut off period will result in loss of deposit. Sorry, no exceptions.

If you don't pickup your birds on the date of delivery or notify us that you cannot come before 5:30, your birds will be sold to another customer, and you will lose your deposit.
