I just realized my phone was off on the shipment day of these birds. The hatchery did try to call me about my chicks I was wrong about them not calling.

Meyer was too expensive for me to be ordering lol. I miss the days they would add packing peanuts to orders. Made ordering worth it lol

Nice looking chicks! I have used Meyers and have been very happy with them and the birds we got from them! Best of luck with them!

This one is most likely your homestead helper (free roo). I’m in a FB group for IDing Meyer’s chicks and 99% of the time they send a RIR chick that looks exactly like this for the free male.

Good to know. I almost opted for the flock protector but decided against it because I'd rather spend extra to get a male from the breed I want, and it seems that was a good choice as Rhode island reds are near the top (if not at the top) of my breeds to avoid list, especially the males

Where do you order from?

 

[gimmie birdies]

I enjoy getting a free rooster, even if he ends up mean later. They have a good life until I rehome or freezer camp. They are better off with me than what wver happens to them if they don't get a home.

Ideal poultry was the only one that had the breed I was looking for.
