Moyer’s Chicks was established in 1946 when Ernest K. Moyer began construction of his new hatching facility in the middle of a former cornfield in rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He began incubating his first eggs in December of that year and the first hatch of several hundred chicks was delivered during a January snowstorm using the back seat of his 1941 Oldsmobile sedan.
By the Mid 1950s Moyer’s began using custom-designed vans and trucks to deliver baby chicks throughout eastern Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Collaboration also began with several missionaries in Puerto Rico working in agricultural and community development projects there. Weekly trips to Kennedy airport with baby chicks and hatching eggs bound for Puerto Rico became routine. By the early 1960s, a satellite hatchery was set up in central Puerto Rico.
By the 1970s, Moyer’s, began delivering truckloads of chicks to a growing customer base in Ontario and Quebec, Canada as well as supplying large contracted and independent growers in central Pennsylvania. An increasing number of smaller, family flocks throughout the eastern U.S. were also requesting U.S. mail shipments directly to their farms.
In 2020, Moyer’s Chicks was acquired by Hoover’s Hatchery. The hatchery continues to operate and has a large focus on Ready to Lay Pullets.
