These 6 Rhode Island Red hatching eggs from AAA Chickens and more, the Home of Happy Hens, are fresh within 48 hours and shipped via USPS Priority Mail. The Rhode Island Red chickens are known for being beautiful and docile, making them ideal for starting or adding to a flock. While our hatching rate is typically 90% and above, we cannot guarantee this due to shipping variables and individual hatching abilities. In case of damaged eggs upon arrival, please notify us immediately with pictures of the box, shipping label, and eggs as a whole for replacement. We do not stockpile eggs; orders are filled with fresh eggs as our happy hens lay them, typically shipping within 2-4 days. Eggs may have natural debris, but none are sent that are unsafe for incubation; allow them to set for 24 hours after receipt before wiping them down. Please contact us with any questions before purchasing.
