Pullet: Rhode Island Red, Shipping week of 08/31/2026

Rhode Island Red chickens are held in such high esteem that they're the official Rhode Island state bird. They were once hugely popular in America, though they declined right along with the small farmer. Today they're making a comeback due to small flock owners (like us!). They're the dual purpose, do-everything bird: they lay exceptionally well, they're valued for their meat, they're extremely cold hardy, and hardy in general.

These juvenile chicks are sexed twice, once at hatch and again at six weeks old, which reduces your chance of ending up with roosters. The minimum order is just 2 chicks!  Additional Pullet Information These pullets will be vaccinated for Marek's disease and MG (Mycoplasma gallisepticum) Our six-week started pullets are floor-raised and socialized with humans, and their beaks are intact--we never trim. Please keep your 6-week-olds quarantined from your existing flock for four or more weeks, and take care when introducing them. Check out our Started Pullets Care Guide.
