Cockerels are raised for food. Depending on the caliber of management offered, it can take them anywhere from six months to a year to fully grow. 50 chicks in a carton are included in this pricing. As many cartons as you need can be purchased. Upon successful order placement, your mail will be provided with the vaccination/medication schedule. Three sourcing options are available from us: unbranded boxes, AMO brands, and CHI brands. Please be aware that our day-old chick pricing is changed twice weekly in accordance with the current market rates.
