Small Hatchery. Big Commitment.
So Big Farms & Hatchery started with a simple idea: that quality day-old poultry shouldn't be hard to get. Whether you're raising 10 meat birds in a backyard, stocking a pastured operation with heritage layers, or running a small commercial broiler house, you deserve birds that are healthy on arrival and ready to perform.
We hatch year-round and ship directly to farms and homesteads in all 50 states via USPS Priority Mail. Day-old chicks, ducklings, guinea keets, and turkey poults are packaged for warmth and safety, traveling in specially designed boxes that keep them secure and comfortable for the journey. Most orders arrive within one to two days of the hatch date — and we back every shipment with a 48-hour live arrival guarantee.
We carry the breeds that work: Cornish Cross and Freedom Rangers for meat production, Rhode Island Reds and Black Australorps for eggs, Pekin and Khaki Campbell ducks, Pearl Guinea Fowl for pest control and alarm coverage, and both Broad Breasted White and Heritage Bronze turkeys for market and heritage production. The catalog reflects what real farmers actually raise.
From the hatch schedule to the brooding guides on our blog, everything we build is aimed at helping you succeed from day one. We're growers ourselves, and we know that a healthy start in the brooder is the foundation of everything that comes after. That's the So Big Farms promise.
Our Values
Quality First
Every bird that leaves our hatchery is healthy, vigorous, and ready to brood. We don't cut corners on genetics, biosecurity, or packing. If a bird isn't right, it doesn't ship.
Live Arrival Guarantee
We back every order with a 48-hour live arrival guarantee. If you receive a loss, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and we'll make it right — replacement birds or a refund.
Nationwide Delivery
We ship via USPS Priority Mail to all 50 states. Day-old poultry travels remarkably well when packed right. Most orders arrive within 1–2 days of the hatch date, warm and healthy.
Farmer Support
We're farmers too. Our guides, hatch schedule, and knowledgeable team are here to help you succeed — from choosing the right breed to getting your brooder dialed in before arrival day.
