Q: Do you guarantee pullets (females only)?

Q: What breeds do you offer?
A: We offer purebreds including Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns, Barred Rocks, Lavender Orpingtons, White American Breese, Silver/Gold/Blue Laced Wyandottes, Ameraucanas, Buff Orpingtons, Black Copper Marans, and Brahmas. We also offer exclusive Hybrid Vigor Crosses like Super Blue Egg Layers, Rhode Island Blacks, Mars Bars, and Red Gold Layers.
Q: What are Hybrid Vigor Crosses?
A: These are purpose-bred crosses using purebred roosters and hens to produce healthier, more productive birds that lay more eggs, more often — sometimes in blue, green, or pink. They live 5-7 years like their purebred parents.
Q: How much do chicks and eggs cost?
A: Sexed pullets start at $5 each. Hatching eggs are $40 for a 12-count. Pasture-raised eating eggs are $10 for a 30-count flat. Grow-outs are $10/month of age. Laying hens are $200 each (ready to lay!).
Q: Do you sell hatching eggs for incubating?
A: Yes! We sell premium hatching eggs at $40 for a 12-count. We recommend HatchingTime.com/BluestoneHatchery for quality incubators.
Q: Are your eggs safe to eat?
A: Our pasture-raised eating eggs come from healthy, well-cared-for hens with regular outdoor access. Once purchased, proper refrigeration and handling are the customer's responsibility. Always refrigerate eggs promptly, keep clean and dry, and cook thoroughly.
Q: Can I visit the farm?
A: Yes, by appointment only. TEXT or call 270-314-1558 to schedule. We are a working farm — please do not show up unannounced.
