Rhode Island Reds

Rhode Island Reds are often considered an American staple, when referring to poultry breeds. Arguably the most iconic and well recognized chicken breed in the US, the Rhode Island Red was developed and first bred in Rhode Island, and to this day is still the state bird of Rhode Island.

This breed is typically active and, as it is a high production Rhode Island Red, it will lay around 280-290 large brown eggs per year. The Rhode Island Red is often variable in temperament and will make a great addition to your flock! Our Rhode Island Reds will out lay and out perform any other Rhode Island Red strain on the market, due to its’ high production and selective breeding program.

Our Rhode Island Red will not breed true if crossed, due to selectively breeding of this strain.

Hens will typically reach 6 to 6.5 lbs. and Roosters will reach 8 – 8.5 lbs. As such, the cockerels also make a good choice for meat production.

If you are looking for a high production bird, which lays a lot of brown eggs, and are also great foragers, these are the birds for you!

Rhode Island Red Started Pullets

Rhode Island Red Started Pullets are a popular dual-purpose breed that is a familiar standby in many chicken coops. As the name suggests, this breed was developed in Rhode Island. This is the state’s official bird! Rhode Island Red hens are calm and are among the best layers. Hens can lay around 200-250 large brown eggs annually. Hens are rarely broody, so you’ll have to find someone else to sit their eggs. Females are lovely shades of deep mahogany red. They are hardy in all climates, and are an excellent free range choice.

We are proud to offer 15 – 20 week-old Started Pullets all year long. These Pullets have been vaccinated for Marek’s disease and are fed Non-GMO starter/grower crumbles. We suggest you continue with this feed until they begin to lay at 18-24 weeks. We hand select each bird and make sure they are in their best condition prior to being boxed.

Started pullets are shipped Priority Mail via USPS on Tuesdays. Depending on routing, they may be enroute 1-2 days.

Golden Bovan

The Golden Bovan Chickens are one of the top sellers in the industry because of the number of eggs they lay and their demeanor. They are known for their fast body development, fast egg production and rich brown egg shell color, quality and texture. Bovans, also called gold sex links are docile birds and extremely easy to work with. This strain will start to lay eggs at a younger age than most standard breeds and produce large to extra large brown eggs.

Golden Bovans were developed in the 1950’s by crossing a Rhode Island Red male with a Rhode Island White female for efficient brown egg production and ease of sexing. Male Gold Sex Link chicks are light yellow without any red, while the females have varying amount of red down. This slight difference in down color allows the hatchery to easily sex these chicks at day of hatch. Adult females have a very light red body appearance with white tails, wing tips, hackles and body undercover. Adult rooster feathering color varies from totally white to white with light to dark red feathers on shoulder feathers. Book these early because they are a high demand layer for farm use with egg production.
