ABOUT OUR BIRDS
We maintain a very small, closed flock and follow strict biosecurity protocols to ensure the health and well-being of our birds. All of our chickens are hand-raised and handled daily, resulting in friendly, well-socialized birds.
We are committed to a holistic approach to flock management. Our hens are fed a high-quality, non-GMO layer feed that contains no corn, soy, or wheat. They also receive a non-GMO six-grain scratch blend, and all chicks are started on a non-GMO 18% grower feed sourced from a local feed company.
In addition to their formulated feeds, our birds enjoy natural supplements including herbs, kelp, yogurt, grass-fed organ meats, and fresh grass to support overall health and vitality.
Reviews
My chicks arrived via USPS incredibly fast and in perfect condition—healthy, lively, and clearly shipped with great care. They were absolutely worth the wait.
Freddy is a reputable, responsible breeder and, just as importantly, a straight shooter. In a world where egg colors are sometimes altered or enhanced in photos and buyers are given unrealistic expectations, her honesty is refreshing. She tells you exactly what to expect and won’t sugarcoat things simply to make a sale or appease a customer.
That kind of transparency, combined with the quality and condition of the chicks I received, speaks volumes about her breeding program and the way she does business. I would confidently purchase from Freddy again and highly recommend her to anyone who values honesty, responsible breeding, and realistic expectations.
6 months ago I went through a horrible divorce resulting in the loss of my pet chickens (they were housed at my MIL’s) I loved my birds endlessly. They were my happy place in this fast paced California life. I was so sad and depressed. I missed them every single day and missed hearing their precious chicken sounds. After a couple months, I decided I wanted to forge forward and start rebuilding. I had never ordered chicks or eggs online- I’d been following BH for quite some time and was obsessed with their eggs and birds. I reached out to get some new babies. They were so patient with my traumatic story and all of my anxiety surrounding it. A few short weeks later, it was time for them to send my babies. I don’t think I’ve been that nervous in a long time. I was so neurotic during the shipping days- I think I’d have told myself to take a chill pill haha- yet- I got all the reassurance. All 11 of my new babies arrived to CA alive and healthy. 5 stars isn’t enough! They deserve infinity
I received my Silverudd’s Blue day old chicks. They were packaged perfectly. You can tell they took time to secure all the chicks’ needs for their journey. They are all beautiful, healthy little puff balls! I’ve already placed my next order! 10/10
I ordered chicks in Feb '26 for Late summer/fall delivery. The chicks arrived safely on Sept '26. The postal service can be iffy. Really should have just taken 2 days but their routes aren't the most efficient. 1 chick died during transport but Burberry provided an extra chick🐣 so all is well. These breeds have been in such high demand so that was a blessing. They look healthy and my grandpa is very happy. Price was fair as well as shipping. Can't wait to see their eggs when it's time to lay.
Highly recommend Burberry Homestead. I got some gorgeous healthy chicks just a few days ago and I’m so happy with them. Clean healthy poopies from their little fluffy bums too. 5 stars for sure!!!
