FAQs about Broad-Breasted Bronze

Where can I buy a Broad-Breasted Bronze?

You can request Broad-Breasted Bronze through FastPoultry, which matches buyer requests with breeders.

How much does a Broad-Breasted Bronze cost?

Prices for Broad-Breasted Bronze are set by each breeder and change with season, line quality, age, and quantity, so FastPoultry does not publish a fixed price. Submitting a request is free. Matched breeders reply with current pricing, and you should ask whether the quote includes boxing, shipping, and vaccinations before you pay the breeder directly.

How many eggs does a Broad-Breasted Bronze lay?

A Broad-Breasted Bronze hen lays roughly 100 eggs a year, and the eggs are large and cream. Real production depends on strain, hen age, season, and daylight, so ask breeders about the laying record of their parent stock. The Broad-Breasted Bronze breed profile on this page lists egg color, size, and laying details alongside care and space notes.

What age should I buy a Broad-Breasted Bronze at?

The Broad-Breasted Bronze can be requested as day-old poults and started birds. Day-old birds ship USPS Express and need a 95 F brooder ready on arrival. Started birds are feathered and closer to laying, so no brooding is needed and pickup is common. Pick the age that matches your brooding setup and how soon you want eggs or breeding stock.

Can a Broad-Breasted Bronze be shipped to my state?

The USDA NPIP state importation table (May 20, 2026) lists VS Form 9-3 as required for shipments into 44 of 50 states, and 31 states list a permit, approval number, or other entry requirement, so check your state's location page before you order. VS Form 9-3 is the NPIP report of sales that the shipping breeder completes, and some states add a permit number, a Pullorum-Typhoid or avian influenza clean-flock rule, or a health certificate. FastPoultry does not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or the US Virgin Islands through standard requests.
