Who on ebay has Standard Breed H Rhode Island Reds?

I hope its one of you guys who got some last year or two from a good breeder. Most of those on their are Production Reds. Be for you order give us the link so we can make sure you dint get the wrong reds. If not go for it.

With many of the one and two year beginners who invested in top notch Red Strains since this tread started we may have more who can help the beginner who wants Original Rhode Island Reds. One friend of mine has so many chick orders he does not have a spare egg to ship and needs to hatch ever chick he can. Then the next year a year from now there should be tons of good birds to supply eggs to the beginner.

Here is the question. If a beginner who has extra eggs to share with a fellow beginner who is converting from Production reds to the Original Rhode Island Reds how do they pack their eggs.

We sure could use some secret methods so they can try them. Hope some of you can come up with a few good ideas. bob

Check Ebay

There are several RIR eggs for sale on Ebay but so far all of them are Production Reds and a few are saying they are mahogany red so be diligent and do your homework before buying these eggs.

Quote: Mr. Bob,
checked Ebay just now and there are some Mohawk eggs on there for sale plus a couple of more breeders on there with Standard RIR eggs. Just wanted to pass this info on to some who are looking for eggs.

Bob,
This is one of the ways I ship eggs.

This is our method.

The egg gets some air, whereas sealing off the egg cuts off oxygen for three days. Don't know if that makes a huge difference, but anyhow......

Im pretty sure that user was a spam bot trying to get contact information... partially because of the language used, and partially because of only having one post... If Im wrong Im sorry.

No. It wasn't spam I've been busy looking after my girls and trying to figure this all out. I have RIR, Auracana, and Wheaton Maran. Unfortunately being new at this I sold a few of my RIR and am hoping to get more. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am thinking of just getting some production RIR to breed with my show quality RIR? What would that result in.

Most would tell you a mess. Bad pulls down good far more often than good pulls up bad.
