Welsummer day-old chicks from verified U.S. breeders. Request a quote and we'll match you with NPIP-certified breeders in your state within 1 business day.
The Welsummer is the Dutch breed famous for dark, speckled chocolate-brown eggs. Beautiful partridge-pattern hens (the Cornflakes rooster), friendly disposition, calm temperament, and one of the best heritage egg layers for backyard flocks.
Day-old chicks ship USPS Express Mail, arrive within 24 to 72 hours of hatch, and start eating and drinking on arrival. They require a 95 F brooder the first week, dropping 5 F per week. Live-arrival guarantees, vaccination status (especially Marek's), and NPIP flock health are the three questions to ask every breeder.
FastPoultry is a broker, not a hatchery. We don't take payment for birds. Every breeder in our network is verified as NPIP certified, which means their flock has tested clean for Pullorum-Typhoid and qualifies for interstate shipment. After we send you matched breeders, you arrange payment, pickup, or shipping directly with the breeder of your choice.

Day-old birds ship USPS Express Mail and arrive within 24 to 72 hours of hatch, still living on their absorbed yolk. You need a 95 F brooder ready on arrival, with the temperature dropped 5 F per week until birds are feathered.
Most NPIP breeders include a live-arrival guarantee with shipped chicks. Terms vary by breeder, so confirm coverage, claim window (usually 24 to 48 hours), and replacement-vs-refund policy when you receive matched quotes.
