In this section we will look at the Rhode Island Red Hatching Eggs we have to offer at Moretz Farms we are currently selling these 100% Pure hatching eggs in 6 eggs for $40.00 and 12 eggs for $75.00. The Rhode Island Red was bred in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the second half of the nineteenth century, by selective breeding of birds of Oriental origin such as the Cochin, Java, Malay and Shanghai with brown Leghorn birds from Italy. The characteristic deep red plumage derived from the Malay. The State of Rhode Island celebrated the centenary of the breed in 1954, when the Rhode Island Red was raised at the William Tripp farm, in Little Compton, Rhode Island.
These eggs on the Farm have a 99% Hatch rate. Because of their delicate nature, hatching eggs that are shipped may experience a slight decrease in the success of hatching. We do ship in Foam Shipper to keep the eggs as safe as possible during their travels.
