Live Chickens
For Sale

Most of our chickens are mixed-breed crosses — primarily Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, and Easter Egger heritage. Because they are mixed breeds, individual birds will vary in appearance, temperament, and egg color. Egg color can range from brown and cream to blue-green depending on each bird’s mix. All birds are raised on certified organic feed from the day they hatch at our farm in Marlboro, NJ.

Yes. Every bird we sell is raised on certified organic alfalfa, flaxseed, and olive oil starter/grower feed from the moment it hatches — the same feed behind our pasture-raised egg flock. Our chickens are corn-free, soy-free, non-GMO, and antibiotic-free. They are not vaccinated.

We offer free local delivery on combined orders of $200 or more — this includes chickens, eggs, and honey counted together toward that total.

Our 6-month-old laying hens are at peak laying age and should begin producing eggs very shortly after you bring them home. Because most are mixed-breed crosses, egg color varies by bird — you may get brown, cream, or blue-green eggs depending on each hen’s heritage. These are our most popular birds because buyers get egg production almost immediately, with no waiting to raise a chick from scratch.

We hatch frequently, so birds are available regularly — but supply, breed mix, and age availability all change with each hatch cycle.

Yes. Every chicken raised at Marlboro Meadows Farm in Marlboro, NJ is grown without antibiotics, growth hormones, or GMO feed. They’re pasture-raised on 100% certified organic feed from hatch to sale. This means no antibiotic residues, no synthetic growth promoters, and no routine medication in the feed at any stage — just clean, honest husbandry from day one.

Non-GMO means the grain and feed given to our chickens contains no genetically modified organisms. At Marlboro Meadows Farm, that extends to every input — no GMO corn, no GMO soy, no synthetic additives in the feed at any stage of life. Our birds are also corn-free and soy-free entirely, which goes further than most non-GMO claims. The certified organic feed we use is sourced specifically to meet these standards from the first day a chick hatches.

Organically raised chickens are not exposed to the synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, or hormone treatments that commercially raised birds routinely receive. Research suggests organic, pasture-raised poultry tends to have a more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio compared to factory-farmed birds, and carries no antibiotic-resistant bacteria risk — a growing concern with conventionally raised livestock. When you buy a live chicken from Marlboro Meadows Farm, you know exactly how it was raised: on pasture, on certified organic feed, without shortcuts.
