BEFORE CLICKING on "TO SEE OUR Please note:
All of our catalogue pricing listed is for day-old chicks and is a guide only. Prices and availability are subject to change. If there is a difference between the catalogue and actual sales price the sales price shall prevail.
ORDERING THROUGH OUR E-COMMERCE STORE CATALOGUE:
Availability dates are shown with each breed in the catalogue. Please place your order for one availability date at a time. Place separate orders for separate poultry availability dates. This will ensure you will have access to book separate pick up appointments, one for each available date. After confirming your order DO NOT OPT OUT OF TEXT MESSAGES. If you opt out of text messaging you will not receive any pick up reminder by text.
An email will be sent to you with your order confirmation which includes a "Book Now for Pick Up" button. You will then have the opportunity to book your order pick up. Click on that button and it will take you to the booking site. If you run into a page error, please call us at 604-791-FOWL (3695) or book directly from the e-commerce store Booking Button.
Not all breeds are available at all times. Many poultry breeds have a naturally seasonal reproduction limiting their availability to those months of the year, and hatcheries do not always set all breeds/varieties in the same hatch. Click here to check on seasonal availability. We also have space restrictions and due to demand, hatchery availability and the forces of nature we cannot always fill every breed listed.

Beau Peep Farms
A great place to pick up chicks!
PLEASE NOTE
In 2023 there will be a shortage due to the devastating affects of the Avian Influenza outbreaks in North America throughout 2022. In many cases entire breeder flocks were wiped out leaving no breeders to supply the hatchery with the precious fertile eggs, in other cases there are still breeders but so few that they will be keeping most or all of the eggs to increase the breeder flocks. Supply and demand will likely also play a factor in determining price per chick in the upcoming season, which is likely to rise.
In 2020 and 2021 there was an extreme shortage due to an overwhelming and unforeseen demand, interruptions to freight and travel bans which affected all poultry fanciers.
What's happening in the world today can have an affect on all of us tomorrow.
At Beau Peep Farms we often sell out of chicks, this can happen for many reasons beyond our control.

FORFEIT DATE:
Due to space limitations, new scheduling requirements due to guidelines set by our regulatory government agencies and too many people ignoring their assigned pick up appointments, a new policy regarding FORFEIT of orders is now effective.
The "FORFEIT DATE" is 1 day past pick up appointment window (bookable dates for your poultry order availability), or closing time on the written agreement date arranged (in the case of "cheep babysitting"), whichever comes first. The forfeit date will be strictly adhered to unless other arrangements have been made prior and in writing with Beau Peep Farms.
If no written arrangements have been made between the Buyer and Beau Peep Farms, poultry orders will be automatically considered forfeited the day after the missed pick up appointment OR at 5:00 PM on the final pick up day open to the order's availability, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
Absolutely no refunds nor credits on forfeit orders of poultry.
