Why Buy From Us?

When it comes to buying chickens or chicks, not all sources are created equal. At C&C Homestead, we pride ourselves on offering healthy, well-cared-for birds and a level of service that stands out from the rest. From our commitment to flock health to our personalized support, here’s why buying from us is the best choice for anyone looking to start or grow their flock.

1. Healthy Birds, Guaranteed

The health of our birds is our top priority, and we take every step to ensure your flock starts off strong. Here's why our approach stands out:

• NPIP Certified: Our flock is part of the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP), which means they’re tested regularly and certified free of specific diseases like Pullorum and Avian Influenza.
• Routine Testing: Our flock undergoes rigorous health testing every six months, so you can rest assured that the birds you bring home are healthy and disease-free.
• No Vaccinations: We believe in maintaining natural flock immunity and providing clean, healthy birds without relying on vaccinations. Instead, we focus on excellent care and strict biosecurity to keep our birds safe and healthy.

When you purchase from us, you’re getting birds that are raised in a safe, well-maintained environment and are backed by our commitment to quality.

2. Personalized Support for Every Customer

We’re not just selling birds—we’re here to guide and support you every step of the way. What makes us different?

• Individualized Attention: Whether you’re a first-time chicken keeper or a seasoned expert, we take the time to understand your goals and provide recommendations that suit your needs.
• Expert Advice: Not sure which breed is best for you? Need tips on housing, feeding, or biosecurity? We’re here to share our knowledge and help you succeed.
• Ongoing Support: Our relationship doesn’t end after your purchase. We’re always available to answer your questions, offer advice, and help you troubleshoot any challenges you might face.

When you buy from us, you’re not just buying chickens—you’re gaining a trusted partner in your poultry journey.

3. Raised with Care and Compassion

The way birds are raised matters, and we take great pride in how we care for our flock. Here’s how we stand out:

• Stress-Free Environment: Our birds are raised in clean, spacious, and humane conditions to ensure they grow strong, healthy, and happy.
• Small-Scale Operation: Unlike large commercial hatcheries, we focus on quality over quantity. Each bird is given the attention it needs to thrive.
• No Overcrowding: Our birds aren’t raised in cramped or stressful environments, which means they grow up healthier and better adapted to life in your flock.

You can feel good knowing that the birds you buy from us are raised with the care and respect they deserve.

5. Local and Trusted Source

When you buy from us, you’re supporting a local business that truly cares about its customers and community:

• Fewer Transportation Stresses: Large hatcheries often ship chicks across the country, which can cause stress or harm to the birds. Our birds are local, meaning they travel shorter distances and arrive at your home healthier and less stressed.
• Knowledge of Local Conditions: As a local business, we understand the specific climate, challenges, and opportunities in our area. Our birds are raised to thrive in your environment.
• Community-Focused: We’re invested in your success and are here to help you every step of the way, unlike big-box stores or anonymous online sellers.

When you choose us, you’re choosing a trusted, community-driven source for your flock.

6. Transparency and Ethics

Not all chicken sellers prioritize ethics, but we hold ourselves to the highest standards:

• No Drop-Shipping: Many suppliers simply drop-ship birds from large-scale hatcheries, meaning they never see or care for the animals they sell. All of our birds are raised and cared for by us, so you know exactly where they’re coming from.
• Ethical Practices: We never overcrowd or overproduce. Our focus is on raising happy, healthy birds in humane conditions.
• Traceability: Every bird comes from a clean, well-maintained flock with clear testing records and a history of excellent care.

You deserve to know where your birds are coming from, and we take pride in offering a transparent and ethical buying experience.

7. A Better Experience from Start to Finish

Buying from us isn’t just about getting healthy birds—it’s about having a great experience throughout the process:

• Careful Handling and Delivery: Whether you’re picking up your birds or having them delivered, we take every precaution to ensure they’re handled safely and arrive in excellent condition.
• Clear Communication: From the moment you contact us, we’re here to provide updates, answer questions, and make your purchase as smooth as possible.
• Peace of Mind: With our NPIP certification, regular testing, and dedication to customer support, you can feel confident knowing you’re getting the best birds for your flock.
