White-faced Black Spanish (aka Farm Clowns) are listed as critically endangered by Livestock Conservancy. These birds are in need of some dedicated breeders to help re-establish their numbers. The White-faced Black Spanish is thought to be the oldest breed in the Mediterranean class of poultry and fowl. It seems certain that they date back to at least the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, but likely much earlier. This Spanish bird is our heaviest layer. They were first used in commerical poulty houses before the Leghorn due to their high amount of egg laying.
There will be minimum of six chicks per order. You may select different breeds to meet the minimum order total of six chicks. You do not have to order all of the same breed. These will be straight run chicks, meaning that they will NOT be sexed as either male or female.
Chicks will be shipped by USPS 1-2 day Express Mail on Tuesday or Wednesday of each week, unless otherwise arranged. We will NOT ship your chicks if you do not select Express shipping. The chicks will be 24 hours or less old when shipped. Each box will include the UniHeat pad to keep the chicks warm and Grogel for a food/hydrations source, as well as coconut netting for flooring and fruit in each box in each box included in the price of Express shipping.
We will communicate with our customers in advance to give them a heads up on arrival times, confirming that shipment works for their schedule and that they are expecting the chicks to arrive. If you have a preferred week of arrival, please add us a note at checkout and we will do our best to make your preferred week of arrival happen, but please don't hate on us if we can't.
We do not issue refunds or credits for shipping charges once the birds have been shipped.
