We are so pleased to be able to offer quality trios of this iconic American breed from Master Breeder Don Bischof. The Single Comb Rhode Island Red is a heritage breed recognizable by its deep mahogany color and long, brick shaped body. The feathers of this breed glisten in the light as if they have been oiled. Don’s Bantam Rhode Island Reds are near-perfect replicas of their large fowl counterparts. Easy to handle and excellent for 4-H and FFA club work as well as serious breeders. Each bird is evaluated and hand-selected by Don to ensure quality. Rhode Island Red Bantams normally ship January through April, and the exact ship date will depend upon availability of birds and agreeable weather conditions.
Rhode Island Red Bantam Pair
Young adult birds are generally shipped October through May and may be shipped at other times, weather permitting. With adult birds you know you’re getting birds that have gone through our rigorous selection process and will be the best genetics we have to offer. As birds are produced in small numbers from premium stock, stock is limited, and availability may depend on how well the birds are producing. We do not keep a waitlist, so birds are shipped in the order they are paid.
Birds are shipped USPS Express Mail to the lower 48 states and Alaska. We ship each Tuesday, and a specific shipping date will be confirmed when the birds are ready to ship. The tracking number will be communicated after the birds have shipped, and we ask that you let us know when they arrive. Any loss as the result of shipping will be managed via the USPS insurance program and replacements will be shipped when they come available. We do not offer shipping refunds for shipments that arrive past the scheduled delivery time. Bird purchases are not refundable.
In preparation for receiving your new birds, we encourage you to have cage space ready with fresh shavings. It is a good idea to contact your local post office the week of shipment to let them know you are expecting a shipment of live birds an ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive to save them time in transit. Newly arrived birds will benefit from electrolytes in their water.
