Price by hatchery

Minimum order quantities and shipping differ by hatchery and can change which is cheapest to your door. "Call hatchery" means that hatchery publishes prices but not live availability.

Reading the availability signal

Legbar (other) is listed at 2 of the 6 hatcheries this index tracks — the others don't currently carry it under this breed name, and today it's in stock at all 2 of them — every hatchery that carries it can take an order right now. That means you can shop on price and shipping rather than racing a sell-out, so it's a good moment to compare the table above carefully.

Before your chicks arrive

Disclosure: the Chewy links below are affiliate links — if you buy through them we earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. This never affects the prices or hatchery rankings above. Details.

Day-old chicks need a heat source, chick-specific feed, and clean water ready before the shipping box arrives. Chewy — a pet-supplies retailer, not one of the hatcheries this index tracks — carries chick starter feed, brooder heat plates, and chick feeders and waterers.

Price history

A flat line here is normal, not a tracking gap: US hatcheries publish seasonal catalog prices and hold them, so genuine repricings are rare events (we measured — zero across our entire tracking window so far). The median moves only when the in-stock mix changes. What varies day to day is availability, shown above.
