OUR STORY

Once an average young boy with a fascination for rare chickens dreamed to one day create America’s largest rare baby chick hatchery. Please take a moment to read our inspiring story to see how we started, where we are today and where we are headed! 

Many years ago around 2005, an average young boy had a fascination for looking at rare and exotic chickens online. After having his parents buy him many online baby chick purchases from large commercial chick hatcheries, he became bored with their common chicken breed selection and the lack of quality and rarity in their poultry that they mass produce. With the love of rare and high quality chickens, he begged his parents to buy him some expensive fertile hatching eggs from a backyard chicken breeder that happened to have some extremely rare chickens. Luckily getting a few expensive shipped eggs to hatch, he began raising his first rare chickens and his passion for rare chickens grew. After many more purchases of expensive shipped fertile rare chicken eggs and most not hatching, he thought there had to be more people like him out there with the passion of rare chickens but no easy way of acquiring them. He had a dream to one day become a large online rare chick hatchery that specialized in solely providing a selection of rare and exotic high quality baby chicks shipped to you with a click of a button. Fast forward a few years and the young boy and his (wife) girlfriend at the time went to college to major in business marketing. To help pay for college, his girlfriend created beautiful feather hair clips that she handmade and was selling many of them daily on ebay. She called them, "Feather Lover Hair Clips". Soon after, the light bulb turned on and in 2015, the famous rare chick hatchery, “Feather Lover Farms”, was born. 

Feather Lover Farms is quickly becoming America's favorite and largest online rare baby chick hatchery and growing strong every year. We have many awesome employees including family and fellow backyard chicken enthusiasts that share the same love for chickens as you do. We are proud to provide the enjoyment of raising rare and high quality chickens to thousands of fellow backyard chicken owners every year. 

We import many rare chickens into the US as well as creating beautiful designer chickens that you won’t find anywhere else. Every single chicken that is used for breeding is hand selected to ensure our quality stays high as we continue to grow in size each year. Our goal is to eventually grow large enough to be able to supply enough rare baby chicks to every person in the US that has a passion for rare chickens like we do. 

Feather Lover Farms has sold our rare baby chicks to multiple celebrities as well as 4 time Olympic Gold Medalist, Kimberly Rhodes, and featured in a partnership in 2025 with national real estate company, Redfin, on their article about raising backyard chickens. 

At Feather Lover Farms, we have a small 3 chick minimum order and guarantee live healthy arrival of your rare baby chicks. We also have the most professional baby chick packaging in the industry with USPS approved live chick shipping boxes, lots of nest material under and around the chicks, as well as 72 hour heat packs during shipping when we feel necessary. When you order baby chicks online for the first time, it can be scary. We want to remind you that shipping chicks and getting them to their new owners is what we do every week, year round. If in the very rare event that shipping does not go as planned and losses might happen, we take care of you and replace the chicks or issue credit. Join the “egg-citement” today and see why thousands of backyard chicken owners a year choose Feather Lover Farms as their source for enjoying rare and exotic high quality baby chicks at home.  At Feather Lover Farms, you're not just our customer, you’re our client and we look forward to you returning to us year after year when you see the value we provide with our rare and high quality baby chicks you won’t find anywhere else.
