We need to move out a large number of our white layers, and most are currently just $3 each (Leghorns and Andalusians)! They are around a year old and were used as breeders so have some rough feathering, but still have lots of eggs to give!

🐔 We are loaded up with birds right now, and if you’ve been thinking about adding to your flock, this is a great time to do it.

🛒 Browse available birds and place your order here: https://www.whitingfarmshatchery.com/shop
