The only way to identify the sex of newly hatched chicks is through a process of manually manipulating the chick to try and differentiate between the male and female.
The chick program is CLOSED for 2021! Pre-orders for Spring 2022 are expected to open in February.
All pre-order customers will receive an email prior to pick up day.
A Premises ID is required for all Chick orders. If you don’t have a PID, you can create one at the Alberta Premises ID website. Click here for more info on PIDs.
Orders without PID numbers will be cancelled prior to shipping chicks.
