Strut Ranch hatches and raises healthy ostrich chicks from proven African Black bloodlines. Reserve day-old chicks, started chicks, juveniles, or a proven breeding pair, and we will help you raise them well.
Hatched and brooded here, so your birds arrive strong and ready to raise.
Why ostriches
They are striking, surprisingly hardy, and remarkably productive. Here is why owners keep coming back for more.
A single hen can lay 40 to 60 eggs in a season. Few animals turn feed into meat, eggs, leather, and feathers as efficiently as an ostrich.
Chicks gain roughly a foot a month early on and reach market size in under a year. Your flock builds value quickly.
Ostriches are desert-adapted, browse on greens, and thrive on modest acreage. They are tougher and simpler to keep than most expect.

Struthio camelus domesticus
The standard for ranching: shorter, docile, and prolific layers. Our primary bloodline and the easiest ostrich to keep.
Struthio camelus australis
Taller and notably hardy, with striking blue-gray skin. A strong choice for hot, dry climates and larger frames.
Struthio camelus massaicus
The largest of the three, with warm reddish skin in season. Best suited to experienced keepers with plenty of space.
How it works
We have made buying ostriches simple, even if it is your first time.
Step 1

Step 2
Your chicks are incubated and brooded on our ranch by people who do this every day. We keep you posted as they grow.
Step 3
Choose climate-controlled transport or pick up at the ranch. Every bird travels with a live-arrival guarantee.
Step 4
Brooder guides, feeding schedules, and a real person to call. We want every bird you buy from us to thrive.
Our promise
We only sell birds we would keep ourselves. Every chick is hatched and raised on our ranch, health-checked, and sent off with everything you need to succeed.
“We treat every chick like it is going to a neighbor’s farm. That standard is the whole business.”
