In 2020, a lot changed for families all across America. We decided to face the change head on and turn our sights toward self-sufficiency and opportunities of supporting our local communities. And as chickens can be a great first step towards the backyard homestead, the desire to raise healthy, quality poultry was born.
Developing a deep understanding of where our food comes from and recognizing how important community really is, we set out to grow, educate and support our surrounding backyard chicken communities. We are a local family farm providing a trusted resource for quality backyard chickens, NonGMO custom feeds and Pasture Raised Poultry.
As we have grown from raising 100 chickens to raising over 100,000 chickens a year, it is also our mission to help steer our customers towards success by sharing our experience of all the responsibility that comes along with a backyard flock.
Located in west Jacksonville (Baldwin, FL), we are a 25 min drive west from Downtown Jacksonville.
Charley’s Chicks raises over 50+ different breeds of poultry throughout the year. Our birds are categorized by breed type - Standard breeds, Specialty and Bantams Breeds Rare Breeds and Broilers (meat birds). We alternate the availability of our selected fowl each month to offer over 3000 chickens of different ages and variety’s at any given time. All our poultry start as day old chicks on our farm, sourced from trusted NPIP certified breeders around the US. Our chicks are sexed pullets (unless otherwise specified, bantams, guineas, turkeys and broilers excluded) vaccinated for Mareks disease, treated for coccidiosis on a preventative schedule and fed NonGMO custom formulated feeds with an activated bio-carbon supplement for a healthy digestive system.
We follow a strategic rearing program to ensure our poultry far exceed the minimum requirements for tending chickens - setting a standard for backyard poultry health and the environment they live in.
