Poultry Days 2026

 Welcome to our Poultry Page!

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

To Place Your Order: 

  1. Please email, call or come into the store to place your order.  We need the following information:
  • Your full name
  • Your complete address 
  • Your address
  • Your email address (for confirmations and reminders)
  • Date of chicken pickup
  • Chicken Breed(s) requested
  • Quantities of each type

Or you can use the attached form to fill out and bring to the store, or email. 

2.  Once the order is placed, you will get an email confirmation. Please check your email confirmation to make sure we have the correct date, types and quantities.

3.  Mark the date on the calendar so you don't forget to come and get your birds. (Pickup is at Settlers Supplies between 10:30am - 5:30pm). 

3.   A few days prior to pickup, you will receive a reminder email. You will receive the Form 300 by email (if needed). You will need this form if you choose to process your birds. 

4. On your confirmation date, come to the store between 10:30am and 5:30pm and pickup your birds. Day old birds arrive in cardboard boxes that are easily carried to your car. Ready-to-Lay birds arrive in green crates OWNED by the hatchery. Staff can help lift the crates into your car.  Ask for cardboard if you need to line your vehicle - we have lots. Please note that staff cannot assist in transferring chickens from one crate into another. This policy is NEW for 2026. If you plan to transfer the chickens, please bring a helper to help you. If chickens escape during transfer by customers, it is the responsibility of the customer, not Settlers Supplies.

5. Green crates must be returned to Settlers Supplies in perfect condition within 7 days of pickup. 


Ordering:

Check the sold out information at the bottom of this page. 
Deposit information 2026: 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.
