We work with the hatcheries the best we can to establish dates for pick-up. Please keep in mind that these are live animals, and we cannot always control when they will hatch or arrive. We will always call you to let you know if your birds are here, and also to update you on potential changes.
Please also be aware that the hatchery provides us with a 90% rate of accuracy regarding the sex of your laying birds.
Please print out the order form(s) and submit them in person at one of our retail stores.

Morristown is a community at a crossroads. Growth and preservation, change and tradition, progress and identity have always existed in tension in small-town Vermont. This is not a story about who is right and who is wrong. It is a story about all of us – and what we want our town to become.
The questions ahead are not simple ones, but Vermont has never shied away from hard conversations. What matters most is that those conversations happen – respectfully, openly, and with every voice at the table.
