Frequently Asked Questions | Rare Treasures Hatchery

Can I choose between roosters and hens to purchase?

Some breeds we offer juvinelle and adult birds in pairs or by sex. However, all chicks are sold as straight run.

What is the ratio of roosters to hens with a straight run?

Normally it is roughly 50/50.

Can we purchase birds and have them mailed or delivered?

We do not mail birds and are usually pick-up only. However, we have been known to deliver or meet in the general area.

Do you sell birds year round?

Yes, but selection can be limited in the winter months.

Can I choose to have you clip my bird's wing so they can't fly?

No. We do not clip wings. Special care should be taken, especially with pheasant and quail to provide a pen where they are secure and not able to escape.

Should I call ahead before visiting the hatchery?

Yes. This is a very small operation. Availability of birds can change often. Prior coordination to ensure we can meet your needs is essential.

What hours are you open?

We don't have specific hours. It is best to call/text us at (785) 806-1277 to coordinate your purchase. If there is no answer we are likely spending some time with our birds. Leave a message and we will return your call, usually within a few hours. You can also email us at raretreasureshatchery@gmail.com.
