Wanted: Heritage RIRs

[lms0229]

Hi, I am looking to purchase Heritage Rhode Island Red hatching eggs from a show quality breeder. I want to hatch the eggs for my new father-in-law, so that I can surprise him with chicks for Christmas this year! He has been wanting the dark colored heritage RIRs forever! He adores his current chickens and spent months building the perfect chicken coop for them. They are spoiled rotten! He was told they were heritage and as they got older he was disappointed when he realized they weren’t... even though he loves them he had his heart set on the heritage variety. Shipping is preferred or if you are located in Texas please let me know... or in northern Arkansas as I will be traveling there in 2 to 3 weeks. Thank you!

Do you have Facebook? Look up Robert Leigh's Rhode Island Reds. He knows what he's doing breeding and hatching and shipping, you'll get good hatching eggs from him if he has any available.

Dick Horstman. I got some from him and 12 of 15 shipped hatched.

I didn't remember that Dick had RIR's too, always an excellent choice.

Yeah. He has both Rose and Single Comb. Nice dark mahogany RIRs.

Did you have any luck with either of them?
