Homestead Chicken · Batch 1 · Easter 2027
We raise a limited number of birds, and we only raise them for people who have already ordered one. Put down a $15 deposit per bird to hold your spot in Batch 1. It comes off your final price.
Deposit received
Thank you. Your spot in Batch 1 is held. Stripe has emailed you a receipt. We will email you before Easter weekend with your pickup or delivery details.
Pricing
You pay by the pound, on the actual weight of your birds. Birds usually come in around 4 to 7 lb each, depending on the bird. We keep it simple: a whole bird, or a whole bird cut up. No mixing and matching parts.
| What you get | Price | The carcass |
|---|---|---|
| Whole Chicken | $12/lb | Included free. It is part of the bird. |
| Cut-Up Whole Chicken | $15/lb | Optional, $4/lb. Tick the box if you want it. |
| Delivery or pickup | Free | The week after processing |
A cut-up bird is one whole bird cut into pieces: breasts, thighs, drumsticks and wings. Cut-up pieces are weighed after cutting. The carcass is weighed on its own if you add it.
The carcass is the frame left after the pieces come off: the back, the ribs and the neck. It is what you want for making chicken stock or bone broth. A whole bird always comes with it. On a cut-up bird it is your choice, at $4/lb.
Delivery is free. So is pickup. There is no delivery charge added at the end. We deliver around the Prescott and Quad City areas on our own route, and we never ship.
How it works
Fill in the form below, then pay a $15 deposit per bird through Stripe. The deposit comes off your final price.
Batch 1 is ready Easter weekend 2027. We will email you with your pickup or delivery details before then.
Pickup and delivery are both free, March 28 to April 3, 2027. We weigh your order and you pay the balance.
We open pre-orders one batch at a time. Batch 2 (around May 2027) and Batch 3 (around June 2027) open here once Batch 1 is spoken for.

Questions
It depends on the weight. Birds usually come in around 4 to 7 lb each, depending on the bird, so a Whole Chicken usually runs about $48 to $84. You pay the $15 deposit now and the rest when you get your birds.
Yes. Delivery is free around the Prescott and Quad City areas, and pickup is free too. There is no delivery charge added anywhere. We do not ship.
A whole bird is sold as one piece, so the carcass is already in it. On a cut-up bird you only pay for what you want: the pieces at $15/lb, and the carcass at $4/lb if you would like it for stock.
Not for now. We sell whole birds and whole birds cut up, so every bird gets used and the price stays fair.
Yes, in full, until January 20, 2027. After that the deposit is not refundable, but you can pass your spot to a friend or neighbor. Just email us their name.
Free pickup and delivery run the whole week, March 28 to April 3, 2027. If that week is no good, wait for Batch 2, which opens here after Batch 1.
