Canadian Hatcheries

[Lucky1]

Hi, I know that there are a lot of hatcheries in the U.S, but i can never seem to find any that are in or ship to Ontario,Canada. Does anybody know of any good quality ones?? since i live in Canada and can not go to the boarder to pick up the chicks.

Kind Regards

Also contact your local feed store. Its what I did this year and they usually have a hatchery they go through and they shipped the birdlets right to my feed store which is 10 minutes away!

In addition to Shelby's list, there is also Frey's hatchery in St Jacobs.

I bought off of Freys and had coccidous in my meaties from day 1..had them tested by a vet and everything. I called Freys and told them and they were more than happy to take all the dead birds for testing and asked if I wanted replacements. I ofcourse said no...as I lost my whole flock in less than a week after this incident. I received my money back and that was that. I mean Im not condoning them for their hatchery but I would not recommend them to anyone. just my two cents.

i am also looking for Canadian hatcheries and i am gratefull in any information i will get on here!! just to let yous know i've had some birds from Frey's hatchery in the past and was VERY satisfied with the birds i got... i am starting a new flock after having let go of hobby farming for a few years and that is where i'll get my birds once again... day olds and ready to lay pullets... i will let you know how it went this time!

I got my chickens from a local farmer, because i wanted ones ready to lay. I live in Ontario as well, and had contacted Frey's in an attempt to get ready to lay hens. I contacted them in March, and was informed that they wouldn't have ready to lay until July. SO i suggest that you contact them early for older chickens.

I'm looking for a Canadian Hatchery in BC, or close too, that sells Australorps. I want to add them to my existing breeder based flock to increase their laying production (as i've read hatchery birds are better layers than breeder birds). So far I can't find one hatchery except for Murray McMurray in the states who has them and will ship to me.
