About us

The Adopt a Heritage Chicken program is a conservation effort to preserve heritage chicken breeds for future generations. Modern chicken genetics are used throughout the world for they high efficiency of either egg or chicken meat productions and their genetics are very different from the heritage chicken breeds of the past. The specific poultry genetics that will serve the needs of the future are unknown so its important to preserve these breeds. Conservation requires maintaining live populations which is expensive. Through public support of the Adopt a Hen program, the Poultry Research Centre can successfully save their heritage breeds for future generations.

Lindy K. asked:

Anyone know where I can get some prices and information about hatcheries in the area ? I don't want to order from peavey mart as I want different breeds. Have already ordered from miller hatcheries two years now.

Jana F. replied:
U of A has a great heritage breed program and sells chicks in the spring. They deliver one a year to local Peavey Marts. Here is a link. https://www.heritagechickens.ca/breeds/

Peavey Mart special orders from Miller's and Heritage chickens. If you want different breeds than what they bring in on chick days, you just call or go in and they have catalogues.
