Feathered Fosters – Week 2

Be part of the Farm and your own food cycle! Bring home a pair of baby broiler chicks for a week and live a miniature agricultural experience in your own home. This is a great opportunity for families to share in the joys of Spring on the farm without worrying about the long-term needs of growing livestock.

Your foster chicks will come with a box to house them for the week, food, bedding, and complete instructions for their care. You’ll need to provide a place for the box inside your home that is free of drafts and safe from curious pets. Baby chicks cannot effectively regulate their own body temperature, so your box will also need to be properly set-up with a desk lamp and 100 watt incandescent bulb for extra warmth.

Advance reservations through this form are required.

Pick Up Location: Willowsford Farm Stand
Pick Up Chicks: Saturday April 2 between 1 PM and 3 PM
Return Chicks: Saturday April 9 between 1 PM and 3 PM

*Please note, our staff is fully occupied during spring in preparing crops for your upcoming CSA season! We are not able to accept early returns of chicks, because of this we ask that you only register if you’re able to commit for the full week. Thank you for your understanding.
