About Me
Welcome to the new home of Silver Pullet Poultry!
I am Cara Smith, and my home is in Northeastern Colorado, about an hour and a half from Denver and about an hour from Nebraska. I have been raising chickens since 2001 as well as other critters on our small 1 acre place.
In 2005, we finally got our birds NPIP certified #84-60 and sell started birds and eggs as well as show around the state and neighboring states.
I generally only have birds available in the Fall, as I set up my breeding pens in the spring only. I do not hatch year round and as you can imagine, some times the birds cooperate, sometimes they don't. I vaccinate all my chicks for Mareks' Disease.
I raise 3 different Breeds of chickens here at our farm: Large Fowl Ameraucanas, Dutch bantams, and Bearded Silkies. I am a member of several different clubs and organizations:

I hatch chicks here at my house, they are NOT from another hatchery, and I take pride that I am breeding these birds according to their standard. I do not ship chicks, only started birds which will generally be available in the fall due to the hot summers we have. I accept paypal, check, money orders or cashier's checks. Please check sales page for new birds for sale. I have not had any problems shipping birds anywhere so can do it, I require buyers to pay for box and shipping charges by express mail. I provide fruit in the shipping boxes and wood shavings for them to stand on, and do NOT ship if temps are too hot or cold on either end. I accept pick up at my farm with prior notice. I can also deliver birds to any shows I attend.
