    Two 7 mo old Rhode Island Red hens Free to good home, Smith River CA

    Meyer's Hatchery "Meal Maker Special"

    I just recently received an order from Meyer. All 6 chicks I ordered plus the Meyer meal maker were as ordered and in perfect health. I received a white leghorn as the meal maker and can't wait to start donating her eggs to a local food pantry.
