Get Your Fall Chicks at Blain’s Farm & Fleet
Blain’s Farm & Fleet is excited to announce that our 2026 Fall Chick Days are coming up! Starting August 28th, 2026
Specific breeds of chicks are not guaranteed. But there will be an assorted variety of day-old layer chicks and meat birds available. Call your local store to check availability. Oak Creek will not have any chicks.
Be sure to come early, as chicks are on a first come, first served basis, and they usually go fast! The stock of chicks will not be replenished. So when they’re gone, they’re gone!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Chick Days?
Chick Days is a seasonal event where Blain’s Farm & Fleet offers a wide variety of baby poultry for purchase. It’s also a time for customers to get expert advice, find the right supplies, and start or expand their backyard flocks.
What is the best time to buy chickens?
The best time to buy chickens is in early spring through late spring, when conditions are ideal for young chicks to thrive. This timing also aligns with our Chick Days events, making it easier to find a wide selection of breeds and get the support you need to raise them. Refer to the chart above to see when your chicks will arrive.
How long does a chick stay a chick?
Chicks are considered “chicks” for about the first six weeks after hatching. During this time, they need constant warmth, proper nutrition, and clean water. Around week six, they begin transitioning into juvenile birds and can slowly adjust to outdoor conditions.
