WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY OWNED HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA
OLD BIDDY HATCHERY IS A SMALL HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA (located at 3673 Brick Church Road, Burlington, NC) THAT HATCHES HERITAGE BREED RHODE ISLAND REDS AND SEVERAL COLORS OF AMERAUCANA AS WELL AS OLIVE EGGER CHICKS (white, black, blue and mixed).
WE ARE HOPING TO PHASE OUT THE OLIVE EGGERS AND MOVE INTO PURE BRED SHOW QUALITY AMERAUCANAS WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
HERE AT OUR LITTLE FAMILY OWNED HATCHERY IN BURLINGTON, NC WE ALSO HATCH PEKIN, KHAKI CAMPBELL AND MALLARD DUCKLINGS AS WELL AS ROYAL PURPLE AND AFRICAN WHITE GUINEA FOWL KEETS.
WE HAD HOPED TO ADD A NEW BREED OR TWO EVERY YEAR TO OUR HATCHERY, BUT I’VE HAD A STROKE AND A HEART ATTACK SO I DON’T THINK WE WILL GET ANY BIGGER TILL I GET BACK UP TO SPEED.
OUR LITTLE HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA (located at 3673 Brick Church Road, Burlington, NC) TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND LOTS OF WORK BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BUILD NEW PENS SO WE CAN SEPARATE EACH BREED AND NOT HAVE ANY CROSS BREEDING.
I TELL PEOPLE TO BUY LOCAL IF POSSIBLE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING!!!

STARTING OUR HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA
NOW, LET ME TELL YOU HOW THIS LITTLE HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA GOT STARTED…I RETIRED SO MY WIFE DECIDED I NEEDED SOMETHING TO DO AND ALONG CAME THE HATCHERY, BUT IT TOOK A YEAR OR TWO.
ACTUALLY, SHE WANTED A LITTLE RED HEN FOR A PET, SO I BOUGHT HER 4 AND THAT GREW TO ABOUT 35 CHICKENS OF DIFFERENT BREEDS, BUT WE DIDN’T HATCH ANYTHING AT FIRST, WE ONLY SOLD EGGS.
THIS IS THE REST OF THE STORY, AND THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW OLD BIDDY HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA STARTED…WITH PRACTICALLY NO MONEY AT ALL!!! I WAS UNEMPLOYED!!!
I HAD A REFRIGERATOR IN THE GARAGE, I PUT EGGS IN THERE AND PEOPLE CAME BY, GOT THEIR EGGS AND LEFT THE MONEY. ONE DAY I WENT TO PUT EGGS IN OUR REFRIGERATOR AND IT WAS FULL SO I ASKED GOD WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH ALL THE EGGS I WAS GETTING SINCE THEY WEREN’T SELLING AS FAST AS I WAS GETTING THEM…I HEARD HIM SAY START HATCHING. (I am a believer and God does speak if you listen)
LIKE I SAID, I WAS UNEMPLOYED AND NOT DRAWING A PENNY UNEMPLOYMENT OR ANYTHING ELSE AT THE TIME. SO I SAID OKAY LORD IF YOU WANT ME TO HATCH EGGS SEND ME AN INCUBATOR…AND HE DID!!!
A FREE ONE!!! THAT STARTED OLD BIDDY HATCHERY IN BURLINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA!!!
WHEN THE FIRST BUNCH OF CHICKS HATCHED I PUT THEM ON THE INTERNET AND THEY WERE GONE THE FIRST DAY.
I PULLED THE AD AND PEOPLE KEPT CALLING FOR TWO WEEKS WANTING CHICKS, OF COARSE I HAD RELOADED THE LITTLE INCUBATOR BUT I HAD TO WAIT FOR THEM TO HATCH.
I QUICKLY SAW HOW THIS WAS WORKING AND I ASKED GOD FOR A LARGER INCUBATOR. AGAIN, HE ANSWERED…HE SENT ME ANTIQUE PLYWOOD INCUBATOR, BUILT IN THE 1940s THAT HELD OVER 1000 EGGS. GOD WORKED IT OUT SO I WAS ABLE TO TRADE 25 HENS AND 2 ROOSTERS FOR IT…NO MONEY!
I STILL USE IT TODAY AND IT STILL WORKS GREAT!!! I’LL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU IF YOU STOP BY. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER VINTAGE INCUBATOR BUILT IN THE 1960s, IT ALSO HOLDS OVER 1000 EGGS AND I LOVE THEM BOTH!!! THEY BOTH STAY ABOUT FULL ALL SUMMER EVERY YEAR TOO!!!
FIRST COMMERCIAL INCUBATOR AT OLD BIDDY HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA!
THE FIRST ONE WAS SO LARGE I DIDN’T HAVE A PLACE TO PUT IT SO I ASKED GOD TO SEND ME SOMETHING TO BUILD A SHED WITH, AND AGAIN HE ANSWERED!!!
A MAN CALLED WANTING A DOZEN HATCHING EGGS AND AS WE TALKED I TOLD HIM HOW I LET MY BULLDOG MOUTH OVERLOAD MY PEKINGESE BUTT. HE ASKED IF I NEEDED SOME LUMBER, I SAID YES BUT I HAD NO JOB AND NO MONEY.
TURNS OUT, HE HAD A LUMBER YARD TO CLEAN OUT SO GOD SUPPLIED MY NEED AGAIN THROUGH THIS MAN AND I BUILT A 32X34 BUILDING WITH THE LUMBER!!! YOU CAN SEE IT TOO IF YOU COME VISIT! THIS IS WHERE I KEEP MY INCUBATORS AND MY CHICKS!!! TO SWEETEN THE POT GOD GAVE ME ENOUGH LUMBER TO BLESS ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS WITH LUMBER TO ADD ON TO HIS PENS AS WELL!!!
GOD IS GREAT AND WILL DO ABOVE ANYTHING YOU CAN ASK OR THINK…AND HE PROVED IT TO ME!!!
WHEN GOD GIVES YOU SOMETHING HE TAKES CARE OF IT ALL!!! AND I GIVE HIM THE CREDIT FOR BUILDING OLD BIDDY HATCHERY IN BURLINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE HE DID IT!!! NOT ME!!!
BACK TO THE CHICKENS. WE BOTH REALLY LIKED THE RHODE ISLAND REDS SO WE SOLD OFF THE OTHER BREEDS.
AFTER THAT I STARTED HATCHING A FEW AND IT GREW INTO OUR LITTLE HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
WE HAVE SINCE ADDED THE DUCKS, THE AMERAUCANAS AND THE GUINEA FOWL! GOD HAS EXPANDED OUR HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA AND CONTINUES TO BLESS US BEYOND ANYTHING WE THOUGHT POSSIBLE!!!
I DECIDED TO NAME THE HATCHERY BACK AFTER MY WIFE SINCE CHICKENS WERE HER IDEA AND ALONG CAME “OLD BIDDY HATCHERY”!!!
NOW, AFTER 42 YEARS OF SLAVERY…I MEAN MARRIAGE, I’VE LEARNED TO SAY YES DEAR AND DO AS I’M TOLD (till she gets out of sight). SO I NOW OPERATE A HATCHERY IN NORTH CAROLINA…SEE HOW SIMPLE THAT HAPPENED?
NOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW THIS CAME TO BE, LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU! YOU WILL FIND A PAGE FOR EACH BREED WE HATCH ON OUR SITE.
