History:

By placing an order for a Serenity chicken(s), you open the door to endless possiblities of breeds. The more you order the more fun and breed variety will join your flock. If you desire a goregous flock, find it difficult to decide on what breeds are best, prefer us to pick out the chicks for you, or need a same age buddy for lonely chick, our Serenity Chickens will not disappoint. Your order will be fullfilled with a random assortment of any of the breeds we raise including our unique Serenity girls. It is possible to have a 1st generation mixed bird. When not breeding a specific breed for purity, that flock gets to roam free with all our other heritage breeds. They enjoy the life of being a chicken having fun in acres of pasture and consuming organic fresh sprouts. It is such a divine pleasure to watch them forage and interact with each other on such a beautiful habitation. With all our show quality heritage breeds out on the pasture at the same time, we are blessed with amazing, unique, breed combinations. Allowing nature to decide which rooster mates with which hen, the results are heaven sent. It is breathtaking to witness these little chicks hatch.

Some chicks are from our program to allow schools to hatch our eggs and return the chicks once done. Chicks hatched by schools are not vaccinated and are fed organic. If you are looking for chicks not vaccine dependent this is a great group of a random varitey of chicks. Ages can vary and exact birthdates are not always known. We will fulfill the order with as many similar aged looking chicks as possible.

Most families are attracted to obtaining their chickens from us because we are proud to be completely different than typical feed store/ hatchery industry standards. Industry standard is to sex as accurately as possible and sell as pullets (female chicks) and force customers to accept a >10% chance of an accidental rooster without the ability to accept returns nor refunds. In addition, industry standard is to sell bantams (such as silkies) as straight runs since they are too small for safe vent sexing. We offer multiple sexing options.

Male
If you are lucky enough to have a rooster, our male sexing option is a great way to save money on a wonderful breed.

Unsexed
This option means that the chicks have not yet been sexed and are sold as a straight run. While nature usually averages half girls and half boys in high volumes, families should only order if prepared for >50% possible roosters.

Female Coverage
This is our most economical choice for families seeking a female. We kept city ordinances that restrict rooster ownership in mind. This option is great for families that want to enjoy a backyard flock of ladies. We use traditional sexing methods on the breeds that capable of being vent sexed, home accidental roosters, and issue store credit of original purchased price. To learn more about how we sex baby chicks based on their breed view: How to Sex Chickens.

Depending on the breed, sexing accuracy can range as low as 50% for bantam breeds, 90% for standard breeds, and as high as 95% for auto sexing breeds. Our female coverage option is not a service fee for sexing the chick, it is the cost difference between purchasing a male or a female chicken. We do not believe in grinding males alive nor suffocating them as day olds to enable a profit when selling a stated female chick at ridiculously low prices. Thus, our female pricing takes into consideration the male left behind with each female purchased. Male chicks are typically half the price of a female.

To qualify for rehoming, the rooster must remain in perfect health. If the family decides to return the rooster, a store credit in the amount of original purchase price is provided. As a family, you are welcome to decide to keep any accidental rooster and forfeit the credit.

DNA Sexed Female Chicks
For families that get emotionally bonded quickly and do not want to risk a future discovery of a rooster, we offer DNA sexing. DNA sexing is the only true accurate method of sexing baby chicks. DNA testing is a significantly higher financial investment. In most cases, it is 3x the cost as (1) female sex covered chick.

Balance accuracy with financial investment
The sexing decision is one that needs to be made at time of purchased and the original order cannot be altered once the order is fulfilled. It is important as a family to determine the right balance between sexing accuracy and financial investment for your family’s situation.

We provide as much information on our website as possible to ensure families make an informed decision based on their situation and lifestyle. Some breeds are more accurate in sexing and most families find our female coverage adequate in providing a free home for their accidental rooster (up to $100 savings) and use the store credit towards a replacement or our organic feed. While harder to sex bantam breeds, or families that know they will develop a with strong emotional attachment prefer to invest in DNA sexing.
Chick orders are fulfilled with chicks aging in age between newborn up to 4 weeks of age. Starter Pullet orders are fulfilled with girls that are at least 6 weeks old and younger than 15 weeks. At 16 weeks and older they are offered as Young Hens. While you can select if you want a chick, starter pullet, or hen selection of the exact age is not available. Our availability page is the best resource to determine chick ages by breed before ordering.

Chicks
Chick orders are fulfilled with chicks aging in age between newborn up to 4 weeks of age. If you are purchasing multiple breeds, it is recommended to review our avaialbity page to view which dates various breeds were hatched. Chicks can share a brooder with others that are up to 7 days in age apart. However, for temperature needs, a different brooder should be used if ordering from multiple age groups. If mixing bantams with standard breeds, it is best if the bantams are same aged or up to 7 days older. When we fulfil orders, we do our best to match ages providing there is enough available in the same age group.

Acclimate chicks by reducing brooder temperature weekly. 95°F for chicks 0 - 1 week old, 90°F for chicks 1 - 2 weeks old. 85°F for chicks 2 - 3 weeks old, and 80°F for chicks 3- 4 weeks old. Our digital thermostat brooder package takes the mess out of raising chicks and makes it easy.

Starter Pullets
A starter pullet provides an opportunity to get a jump-start on a new flock or additions to your current flock!

Starter Pullets will be at least 6 weeks old and acclimated for outside night time temperatures with an adequate coop for shelter. Each chicken can generate 35 BTUs of heat. Thus, sharing a coop with several other flock members that are similar in age is key to provide ample group warmth in colder months.

As a general guideline, a chick becomes a pullet or a cockerel at 4 weeks of age and lasts for around 12 weeks. This can be considered the award teenage stage. During this time sexual differences become more apparent in most breeds.

Starter Pullets and hens prefer 65°F - 75°F. The age that a starter pullet can be placed outside will vary based on average monthly temperatures, their cold tolerant ability, and amount of flock members.
oAt 6 - 7 weeks old, pullets can handle coop temperatures >50°F which occurs in Mid-May, June, July, August, and September.
oAt 8 - 10 weeks old, pullets can handle coop temperature >32°F which occurs in April, Early May, and October.
oAt 11 - 15 weeks old, young hens can handle coop temperature >0°F
Thankfully, it is rare for Colorado to drop this low year-round. Cold tolerant breeds can handle up to -20°F when adequate shelter is provided.

It is recommended to wait to introduce starter pullets to full sized hens until they reach at least 3 months in age. Transition is easiest when there are more new members that existing members and adding to a flock while sleeping/ roosting.
To help reduce the financial loss due to a predator attack, pet sitter mishap, illness, unnoticed birth defect, and/or accident resulting in death, we offer a generous complimentary life insurance for baby chicks purchased as female. Requires a minimum purchase of (2) female chicks per order as it is vital that chicks have at least 1 same aged buddy.

Time of loss is calculated from time of pickup to the time photo proof of loss is received via text to 303-359-9484.
<24 hours = Store credit of 100% of original purchase price
<48 hours = Store credit of 75% of original purchase price
<72 hours = Store credit of 50% of original purchase price
<10 days = Store credit of 20% of original purchase price
No credit issued for female chick loss experienced over 10 days unless purchased with our Complete Flock Starter Kit which includes our organic feed and brooder. We extend the prorated life insurance coverage up to 30 days with the Complete Flock Starter Kit purchase as we stand behind our recommendation for this brooder. This extends 20% store credit for loss reported between day 10 and day 30.

Our unsexed and male chicks are deeply discounted. Thus, there is no life insurance coverage of any kind for roosters or unsexed chicks. Do not adopt any chicks that you do not want to take full ownership of their current and future health. Life insurance does not provide coverage for any vet or medical cost you decide to incur to help support the wellbeing of your flock. The sole purpose of this coverage is to provide financial relief in the unfortunate event of needing to replace a deceased chick.

In the event of a loss, text a photo of the decease chick to phone number 303-359-9484. Provide any details of what you think may have occurred and which breed the chick was. The first and last name on original order is required if you want us to locate your receipt for you. Otherwise, provide the order number in the text.
