Bird Purpose

Egg Laying, Meat Production

Egg Color

Brown

Rhode Island may be America's smallest state but the breed developed there in the late 1880's made huge changes in chicken husbandry. The Rhode Island Red's amazing ability to lay about 265 eggs a year made it famous worldwide and became the parent of several modern hybrid egg layers. These glossy mahogany- colored hens with black tail feathers are as beautiful as they are gentle and productive. Exuberant, Curious and Friendly, these are great birds to add to your backyard flock. Hens begin to lay as early as 6 months of age, and make protective mothers. Perhaps the most productive layers of all the dual-purpose breeds, they do well in confinement but prefer to free range.Guarantee of 90% accuracy on all sexed poultry.

2.5 years later and still going strong

4 years ago
We bought the 10 RI reds in October of 2018. Never had chickens before so we were new! The shipped quickly and I got the call to come pick them up at our main PO. We opened the box to find they shipped 12 - we realized they had figured some would not survive the trip. I had either googled or the Hatcher suggested dipping their beaks in sugar water as soon as you get them. We did that and gave it to them several times that first day along with normal water available in the warmer cage. They ship out at 1 day old and they usually arrive in 2 days so they are new! We thought some may not make it, but our kids kept watch closely that first 24 hrs and any that were sluggish got a beak dip of the sugar water. They all survived. The ladies will be 3 this year and they are doing quite well!!! We have had a great experience and would order again if we needed a large group. If they arrive dead, the hatchery will fix it with you. But for all those loosing them after arrival, I’d suggest the sugar water. The hatchery will still fix it with you if some just don’t make it after arrival. I hope you all have the good experience we had!

10 Happy little chicks

a day ago
Hoover's sent over 10 happy, healthy chicks. They have adjusted well to our brooder and I look forward to seeing them grow. Shipping was relatively quick and I would certainly consider ordering chicks from Hoover in the future.

Don’t recommend to anyone, very infuriated by this

25 days ago
They all died within 3 days. They were picked up within an hour of arriving at the post office, and immediately put in a cage with a heat source for baby chicks and food and water, checked on hourly and they all died without any warning or evident reason. Perfectly fine one check and dead the next check… photos are from Wednesday when they arrived and Thursday before they started dying.

No, I do not recommend this product.
