This is one of the most famous and all time popular breeds of truly American chickens. Developed in the early part of this century in the state of the same name, they have maintained their reputation as a dual purpose fowl through the years. Outstanding for production qualities, they have led the contests for brown egg layers time after time. No other heavy breed lays more or better eggs than the Rhode Island Reds. Our "production" strain is keeping up the fine reputation of this old favorite. Baby chicks are a rusty red color and the mature birds are a variety of mahogany red.
As a reminder, to help ensure a safe arrival to you, the minimum number of chicks for each order prior to April 1st is 25. On and after April 1st, the minimum number of chicks required is 15. You can mix and match any type of baby chick in your order to reach the applicable chick minimum order. If ordering any bantams, we require a minimum of 15 bantams per order.

Questions & Answers
Do Rhode Island Reds set on their eggs?
Rhode Island Reds are not setters.
do you sell egg laying ready Rhode Island reds? Adult chickens? If not, do you have any suggesting a where I may locate some. We are looking for about 20 adult chickens. I'm in the Daytona Beach Florida area. Thanks.
The oldest birds we offer are between 15-20 weeks called started pullets. They have not started laying yet but will begin within a few weeks after delivery. You can find information under the header "Juvenile birds" then click on started pullets.
what does straight run mean
Straight Run means as hatched. Breed is not sexed so a gamble as to what sex you would end up with.
