*FINE PRINT*

• At Bloomington Farm & Feed, we source our chicks from Sunshine Gardens Poultry which uses professional sexing methods to determine gender. While these methods are highly accurate, they are not 100% guaranteed, meaning there is a small chance of receiving a male chick. This is called “straight run”. 
  • We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or guarantees on the sex of any chick.
  • For those wanting to ensure a flock of only hens, we recommend considering sex-linked breeds, which are feather sexable at birth.
  • By purchasing from us, you acknowledge and accept this risk as part of buying live poultry. Thank you for understanding!
