We deliver to over 150 stores in Ontario monthly or every other week from the end of March to the middle of July, mid-August and again in September (some areas).

1. Find out if your local feed store sells chicks from Frey’s Hatchery. If not, contact Frey’s Hatchery to locate the store nearest to you.
2. Place your order with the feed store and make any subsequent changes through them.
3. Arrange payment with the feed store; a down payment is advised to confirm your order. Frey’s charges a delivery fee on each order.
4. On the arranged delivery date, pick up the chicks from the feed store. Your order will be shipped in a box or boxes labeled with your name. You will need your own containers for ready-to-lay pullets.

1. Call, fax, or mail the order to Frey’s Hatchery if you want to pick up the birds at the hatchery or you want to arrange air or parcel post shipments. If there is no store in your area, truck delivery to your farm may be possible (costs will vary with distance).
2. For pickup orders under $100, full payment is required in advance. For orders over $100, we require a down payment of $100 or 50% of the total, whichever is greater. For air and parcel post shipments, FULL payment for chicks and freight is required 2 weeks prior to shipment.
3. On the arranged date, pick up the birds at the hatchery (Monday for started birds; Tuesday or Wednesday for day-old chicks) or have them shipped to your farm or local airport or post office.
4. For Parcel Post and Air Orders: To assist you in determining optimum quantities, each section or corner of our chick boxes is designed to hold 30 pheasants, 25 chicks, 20 turkeys, or 13 ducks. We recommend that you order enough birds to ensure that they will be able to keep each other warm during shipping. Safe arrival on parcel post and air orders cannot be guaranteed.

ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED IN ADVANCE

DAY-OLD CHICKS: can be picked up at the hatchery on Tuesdays (day of the hatch) from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

READY-TO-LAY & STARTED CHICKS: can be picked up on Mondays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

In cases where the order has both day old and started chicks, the day old pick-up days apply.

MAXIMUM CHICKS PER BOX IS 100

If your order is for ducks, pheasants or turkeys, the box counts are different. When you order, we can let you know the number of boxes and what size they will be.

We ship day-old chicks by Parcel Post to areas in Ontario and Western Quebec from end of March to mid June. Since the Post Office will not accept responsibility for losses in transporting the chicks, we cannot guarantee safe arrival. All Parcel Post shipments must be paid in full 2 weeks prior to the shipping date. Recommended minimum is 40 chicks or 30 turkeys.
