D&D buys mainly (pullets). They are 95% guaranteed to be females. Some of the species we order are Straight Runs, which means you could get a male or female chick.
Chicks arriving at the store are typically 3-5 days old. To ensure you are set up for a successful coop please have starter chicken feed, chick waterers, heat lamps, and more. Ask our friendly staff for help. For questions about chick types or anything else, please feel free to give us a call at (281) 351-7144 or stop by the store.
