General Ordering and Pickup Information

  • Piedmont Heritage Poultry (PHP) sells LIVE BIRDS only.
  • Order limits: No minimum. Maxium of 6 birds of one breed, unless you will accept chicks of different ages. I am not set up to fill large or commercial orders.
  • Payment must be made in full, by check, at time of order.  Make checks payable to Small Little Farm.
  • To reserve your chicks, mail the order form with payment in full to:
    Caryl E. Buck
    Small Little Farm
    8894 Meetze Rd.

    Warrenton, VA 20187
  • Payment is non-refundable unless live birds become unavailable due to reduced lay, failed hatch, predators, or adverse weather events. In such a case, payment will be immediately refunded in full.
  • Email Notifications: (please ensure your contact information is accurate and legible!
    1) You will receive notification when your order is received, stating your place in the hatch line (or waiting list in the case of older birds).
    2) You will receive an email when your eggs are placed in the incubator, giving you about one month to prepare for your chicks.
    3) You will received an email when your chicks are hatched with the pick up window. Directions to Small Little Farm will be forwarded in the pickup notification.
    4)
    For those on a waiting list for older birds, you will receive an email when availability can be determined for the current year, yea or nay.

  • All birds must be picked up by appointment at Small Little Farm near Warrenton, VA, within 7 days of notification, unless you have requested a hold. Otherwise your birds will be offered to the next customer in line and you will go to the end of the hatch line. Because I hatch to order, you will not receive a refund if you change your mind and do not pick up your birds.  Sorry, I do not ship!

Ordering Poults, Goslings, or Ducklings

  • Chicks are reserved in the order that paid orders are received. Orders are filled as chicks are hatched. Chicks are held for a minimum of 5 days after hatch to ensure they are eating and drinking normally and off to a healthy start, before being released to customers.
  • All chicks are sold unsexed!
  • Please note: Since the breeding stock lives outside year-round, nature controls when they start to lay every year. Supplemental lighting is not used to induce early laying. Generally, PHP turkeys start to lay in the March/April time frame. Geese usually start laying in February. And ducks in Feb/Mar. Incubation takes approximately 28 days.


Note: I usually have a few older or adult birds available each year, but not many and not on a regular basis, as I am set up to breed and offer chicks, not older birds. How to order these older birds is described below.

Ordering Young Turkeys, Geese, or Ducks (<12 Months Old)

  • Please contact PHP for possible availability before ordering.
  • These are occasionally available in late summer, and can be various ages, around 2-6 months old. If buying a turkey to butcher, note that these turkeys will be probably be too young to butcher until after the next year.
  • You may request a sexed bird for turkeys and ducks, but not for geese.
  • This is a waiting list situation. Orders can not be positively guaranteed to be filled; do NOT send payment with your order form. I will let people, who have ordered, know if birds are available or not as soon as I can determine this.

Ordering Adult Turkeys, Geese, or Ducks (>12 Months Old)

  • Please contact PHP for possible availability before ordering.
  • These are rarely available, but can be various ages, all over 12 months old.
  • You may request a sexed bird.
  • This is a waiting list situation. Orders can not be positively guaranteed to be filled. Do NOT send payment with your order form. I will let you know if birds are available or not as soon as I can determine this.

Ordering Retired Turkey, Goose, or Duck Breeders

  • Please contact PHP to see if any are still available, before ordering. Very limited availabilty.
  • These are retirees from my breeding stock and available in the October/November timeframe, after molting. They go fast. Order early.
  • Turkeys and ducks may be ordered singly. Bonded geese pairs will not be split. Single geese are rarely available.
  • You may request a sexed bird.
  • Do NOT send payment with your order form. Payment will be due on pickup.
