LOCAL CHICKS ~ Available each SPRING

LOCAL LIVESTOCK ~ AUCTION each WEEKEND

  • Enumclaw Sales Pavillion (all genres of livestock and poultry, mature and hatchlings, are sold on Saturdays. The hours change so check their web site!) P: 360.825.3151

 

Hatcheries In General:

It's best to drive to the hatcheries to collect your own chicks to ensure their safe travel. If shipping is necessary -- always pay for the gel-feeder-pack to be included in shipment (the feeder pack will prevent the chick's thirst/starvation while en-route to your local post office).
