HATCHING EGGS & LIVESTOCK

We are TAC registered and NPIP certified which means our hatching eggs, poultry and waterfowl are regularly tested and free of disease. We typically hatch from February to November and usually have a selection of chicks, young pullets, and layers available. Lambs are typically available twice a year, and piglets are born during the summer months.

Please contact us at carstensranch@gmail.com to inquire about current poultry and livestock availability. For welfare reasons, we do not not ship live animals, but offer collection from Winnsboro, TX or local delivery for an additional fee.
