We are a small, local, chicken business specializing in coop ready heritage breed pullets. We also have hens available ranging in age from day old chicks to ready-to-lay hens. Once they are 28 days old, most young hens do not require supplemental heat, and are ready for your coop! Although raising day old chicks is a novel experience, it gets old quickly. They require constant monitor
ing for feed, water, litter, correct temperature… plus the hassle of dangling a heat lamp and dealing with p**p, which gets everything, and the dust that goes everywhere. Why not let us at Marker 99 handle the initial “dirty work?”
It is surprisingly expensive to order just a few chicks from an online hatchery. At the Crossing at Marker 99 we are able to raise approximately 450 birds every four weeks or so. We would love to handle your small or large order to start your flock, and continue to supply you with layers and broilers for your own laying or meat bird operation. We have year round production capability but only keep stock from March through November. The usual suspects (breeds) are Australorps, Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, and Rhode Island Reds, but also often offer Welsummers, Light Brahmas, Jersey Giants, Easter Eggers and Turkens. In addition, we offer unusual breeds including turkeys and ducks so please reach out to us with any request. Allow us to do the brooding process for you so you can have a healthy, hearty and happy flock of beautiful birds. Enjoy a young chicken running about without the hassle of caring for a peep. We have higher sexing rates and we offer a refund or exchange for any rooster who slips through our inspection process. Please send a message or email at any time with questions or to find out more about us. In addition to poultry we strive to be "beyond organic," as pioneered by Joel Salatin of Polyface farm. We look to build top soil, soil ecology, create compost and close the nutrient loop.
