Looking for Rhode Island Reds

[Jerry Rigged]

I am looking for some Rhode Island Reds chicks in the Kamphaeng Phet area. I am willing to travel or have shipped for the right price.

Rhodes are very difficult to find, I have been looking also.

You can settle for commercial Golden Comets, they are a docile layer breed and can get them from farm stores when ordered in advance. There are commercial hatcheries in Chon Buri,  Khon Kaen and around Bangkok if you are willing to order at least a 100 chicks and pay for delivery.

I paid 36 Baht per chick in a farm store in Buriram two weeks ago and waited 3 Months for availability. Because of the huge demand for egg layers (dare not mention some huge corporations) you may get chicks barely a week old, so they have to go into a brooder for at least two weeks until you can let them run free. Also expect relative moralities in this "cooler" season.

Go to the Surin Livestock Breeding and Research Center on the 214 highway at GPS 14.7684456686, 103.43333404 (Surin Livestock Breeding and Research Center. You have to be Thai and show ID to buy. The lady that runs this part is in contact with my wife. She puts you on a list and you are called you have take ALL chicks. Could be from 100 to 200 chicks at about 15 baht each.

Thank you, to the both of you, douglasspade and khwaibah. I have been doing research and haven't really gotten anywhere. This is a big help. I appreciate your time and details. Have a great day.
