Sugar Feather Farms

Altogether seems like a sketchy place and I would not buy from them.

I belive your thinking of the the farm that bred and sold English Orpingtons, sheep, and A2 cows.

Yeah. Same kind of trendy/hippie sort of farm, but I liked the place you were looking at way better. Plus they didn't have some weird loyalty program.

They are actually really close to me. I was going to drive to them to pick up there they are so close.

I got the opposite vibe from them. They are super small, and are doing everything small scale. I am guessing that is why their prices are so high, but it seems like they are out of a lot of people's price range.

I haven't ever gotten inventory from them, but folks in Vermont in general are obsessed with quality. I personally would be willing to try (if I could afford it more easily).

The bird they have the picture of is a frizzle polish.

Plus their fully feathered sales are listed as generally 7-12 weeks. I think it's more so that once they can be sexed, they're considered fully feathered in their thoughts.

I personally wouldn't order from someone that allows visitors on their farm.

Just from reading over their FAQs, it looks like they cater to the Instagram chicken people. It would be a no from me.

Completely no, or do you think eggs might be okay then? I know it's not too different than live birds, but figured I'd ask

Maybe eggs

Maybe eggs

Cool. They only have 1 or 2 birds there that aren't on other hatcheries that I wanted, so I might do eggs (maybe... I still have like 9 months to decide) for those two then

I know from almost picking up there that they don't let people near the birds, but people are obviously on the premises if they do pickup at all.

I get a mixed vibe from them, too, but I don't think they are as bad as some people were saying. I think they could make a customer happy.

If you do end up getting eggs from them, you could write about your experience. I'll do the same if we ever get silkie eggs from them like we were thinking of.

I'll hope for the best
