Purchasing Chickens:
You can purchase 2-month-old chickens directly from our online store. Simply visit our website and click on “Shop.” In the store, choose your preferred pick-up date and select your chicken breed from the drop-down menu. If a breed is listed as “out of stock,” it means that particular breed is sold out.
Before making a purchase, please review our policies carefully, which are available on the store page, your receipt, and throughout our website.
Important Information About Pickup:
-
Mark your calendar with the pick-up date, as we do not send reminders.
-
If you wish to pick up your birds early, please call 386-208-0495 to schedule a time during the week leading up to your designated pick-up date.
-
If you place orders for birds with different pick-up dates, you will need to make separate trips to pick them up. We do not hold birds past their pick-up date due to space limitations and logistical reasons.
-
Please note that we do not release birds more than a week earlier than the scheduled pick-up date.
-
Additionally, the size difference between one-month-old and two-month-old birds is significant.
Inventory and Ordering Process:
-
When we receive our chicks, we list approximately 30% of our inventory online to fulfill pre-orders. This ensures we can accommodate all orders.
-
If we are unable to fulfill your order, we will contact you to offer an alternative breed, a different pick-up date, or a refund.
-
At about one month old, we inventory the chickens. If the numbers look good, we may add more birds to our online store as the pick-up date approaches.
Remaining Birds:
-
The day after the pre-order pick-up date, we will begin to sell any remaining birds on a first-come, first-served basis. These birds will not be held and are available only on a first-come, first-served basis.
-
A list of available breeds will be posted on our website under “Chickens on Hand” within a day or two.
-
If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 386-208-0495.
Happy Heart Farms Health Guarantee
At Happy Heart Farms, we take pride in providing healthy, well‑cared‑for pullets to help you start or grow your flock with confidence. To ensure clarity and fairness, we maintain the following policy.
- First‑Week Health Guarantee
- All pullets from Happy Heart Farms come with a 7‑day health guarantee, beginning on the date of purchase.
- If a pullet dies within the first week, we will refund the purchase price or provide a replacement, depending on availability.
- Customers must contact us within the first 7 days to report the loss.
Not eligible for refund or replacement:
- Reports made after the first week
- Deaths due to mishandling of the birds in transit or at the customer’s location
- Birds killed by predators
- After the First Week
- The chickens’ health after the first week is strongly influenced by care, environment, and management outside our farm.
- For this reason, no refund or replacement will be offered for any bird that dies after the first 7 days of ownership
- Vaccination Information
- All birds are vaccinated for Marek’s Disease.
- Because the Marek’s vaccine works by helping the bird develop antibodies, a vaccinated bird may test positive for Marek’s due to the presence of those antibodies.
- A positive Marek’s test does not mean the bird has contracted Marek’s Disease.
- Our Commitment
Happy Heart Farms is dedicated to raising strong, healthy birds and supporting our customers with honesty, transparency, and care. We appreciate your trust in our farm and look forward to helping your flock thrive.
Why do we begin selling chickens at 2 months old?
At 2 months old, pullets can go to their new home without the need for heat lamps or brooders but are still at a young enough age to bond easily with their new owners. They have most of their adult feathers in, though they still have a fair amount of growing to do; they are just shy of being half grown at this point, having to gain a bit more height and a lot more breadth. By 2 months old, we are almost always able to tell which birds are pullets (young hens) and which ones are roosters, so customers can know they are getting what they paid for. Chickens typically begin laying around 4.5 – 7 months of age and oftentimes will quit laying for awhile due to the stress that moving causes them. By getting them at this younger age, it allows the birds to be be relocated to their new environment without their laying cycle being interrupted in this way. And because the poultry have time to adjust to their new home before they ever start laying, their egg production is maximized. As mentioned, it is easier to bond with your new chickens at this point. They are younger, making them easier to handle, and they are still impressionable, making the bonding process quicker and easier than if you were getting a hen that is already producing eggs.
*** IMPORTANT: When picking up your new chickens from us, please be sure to bring a box/crate/etc. in which to transport your birds to their new home.
SCAM ALERT
Scam Alert
We just got the below review on Google. This person was scammed by the people impersonating us. So many of you reported them to Facebook and we greatly appreciate it. Please read her review and share the information so that others won’t get scammed. We have spoken with a number of people and it is very sad how people are getting taken advantage of. Not sure what else we can do. Open to suggestions!! The picture is of their Facebook page. They use our information (circled in blue) and change the phone number (circled in red).
I’m having a horrible experience with these people! It started out GREAT! I mean they had everything I needed and even were able to give me a discount! I was so grateful. Until… they asked me to send $300 more than the original agreement. So I told them I couldn’t afford it and I physically didn’t have anymore than what I already sent them. They refused to give me a refund and demanded I “find a way” to get the money. I told them I can’t afford to not get a refund. They still haven’t sent it back. I’ll update you all on the refund by Tuesday.

Alyssa thank you so much for the review. I’m sad to say the people you’re dealing with are not us. Someone is stolen the information from her Facebook page and change the phone number. We have received calls from a handful of people that have experienced the exact same thing that you have. They are a scam. If you look at their Facebook page and look at who’s following them you can see everybody is from out of the country. We’ve reported them to the FBI we have information on our website [www.happyheartfarmsfl.com](https://www.happyheartfarmsfl.com) that refers to them as a scam. We posted on our Facebook site and ask people to report them to Facebook and we’ve had about 20-30 customers report them. We reported them ourselves multiple times. I recommend that you contact the FBI they have a form that you can fill out and because you’re a victim it will be taken more seriously. That you also contact Facebook and file a complaint and again since you’re a victim they’re going to take it more seriously and your local police. Our phone number is 386-208-0495 please give us a call and we can help you get actual chickens. I am so sorry that you were scammed by these people.
