It’s too cold here now for the eggs to be viable, sadly. We’ll start up again in the spring. Send an email to frank@mackhillfarm.com and he’ll put you on the list. We’ll collect a deposit starting probably in March or April, depending on the weather. We’ll also have day olds then as soon as it is warm enough to ship.

If you are on Facebook, there’s a group of us there here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/134998809885184/ Just ask to join and I’ll approve it.

I’m trying to buy maple syrup from this website, but whenever I click on “maple syrup” I just get a reference to an April 2011 blog entry. Do you have any syrup for sale that can be shipped to Virginia? If so, could you let me know the details? Thanks.

Cheryl,

Would that it was simple. In the warm months, chicks would do far better than hatching eggs. You might lose one or two, a number that could easily have died anyway, whereas the hatch percentage on mailed eggs is less than half that of eggs handcarried. And of course if you buy chicks, the ones that don’t hatch are my problem not yours.

OTOH, I’m not willing to mail chicks again until next spring, whereas I’ll mail eggs as long as the temperature is above 0F.

Your Icelandic Chickens are gorgeous, and awesome. I would love some hatching eggs since I believe the trip for live babies would be a little far for chicks to travel to Pa. My birds are treated with TLC and are free to roam about during daylight hours on our 10 acres, I am retired and spend lots of time doting over my feathered friends. Your birds would be a fantastic addition to my flock. If they are not laying are you able to put me on waiting list? Thank You Very Much,
Cheryl

Would love to buy either Icelandic eggs for hatching or baby chicks. I bought a hen and rooster this summer but something got my hen. I’m so heart broken for my rooster and me. I have him in a safer place now. Look forward to hear from you. Diana

Hello. I am interested in starting a flock of Icelandic chickens. Do you have any adult birds for sale? If not, I would be interested in buying either chicks.
Thanks for your time!

We do, but they would need to be picked up. The regulations for shipping poultry more than a day old have gotten quite expensive. It is only worth it for expensive show birds.

Day olds and hatching eggs can still be shipped for a reasonable price.
