About Us

We love chickies.  We have been breeding and selling chickies for over a decade.  Over the years, we have greatly expanded our chickie breed offerings.  We personally breed some of the more exotic birds right at our farm in San Diego.  In addition, to expand our chickie choice for customers, we work with several other NPIP certified family farms in California and throughout the United States to offer you even more chickie choices.  We are pretty particular on the chickies we sell to insure that you get the best, healthiest chickies available.   

Some items new this year:  

  • Duckies, Turkeys, Guineas and sometime Geese and Meat Birds
  • Baby chickies and started pullets can be shipped direct to your post office
  • Lots of new chickie breeds that you have been asking me for

Feel free to mix and match the different breeds.  I have specifically chosen breeds that are exceptional egg layers, gorgeous or make really great pets.  Sometimes the birds are a combination of all 3 of those traits.  I've also included a couple of collections this year, which will combine several different chickie breeds that do well together.  I've tried to make these really fun collections of either standard and bantam birds, to give you the chance to experience different bird personalities and egg colors.  

When you are reading the information on each of the breeds, I've supplemented the technical information with personal comments to help you make the best decision for your new flock, or additions to an existing flock.  Enjoy choosing...and if you need any help or have any questions, texting is best at 858 997 5903, but you can also email us at backyardchickies@gmail.com
