Spring is just around the corner, and with it, thoughts of hatching eggs and chicks! At Small Farm Canada we are thinking about them too and thinking of ways that we can connect you with information and service providers to help.
One way is to reach out to your local agricultural society or feed store for some referrals. You may hear about a small farmer operating in your area who sells chicks.
The way Small Farm Canada helps, is by connecting with small farm hatcheries and dealers across Canada every year. We confirm hatchery participation and chick and hatching egg availability for the season and publish it in the January-February issue and online at SmallFarmCanada.ca.
Recently Small Farm Canada connected with Rachelle Quesnel at Northern Feather Farm and things are brewing or should we say brooding.
“Incubators are filled with eggs, ready to welcome the pitter-patter of tiny chick and turkey feet. As we monitor the temperature and humidity with anticipation, we can't help but look forward to the sight of fluffy chicks and poults exploring their new world.”
Quesnel’s Northern Feather Farm are a new addition to the hatcheries across Canada that are listed in our 2024 online Hatchery Guide at: https://www.smallfarmcanada.ca/resources/hatchery-guide/
