“Awesome experience with this Hatchery! Received 27 NH Red meat birds today. All are alive, and all are very active!!!! Great price, great communication, and an awesome heritage bloodline! I’m kicking myself for waiting so long to order from these folks.
**Update** 36 hours after I picked them up at the post office, and there are still no losses!!! Eating a ton of food and a lot of water!!!! Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!”

“First time ordering directly from a hatchery. Still very cold here in N. Idaho, and I was a bit scared. How are they going to get here ok? Are they transported with enough heat to make the trip? I communicated my concerns with Freedom Ranger Hatchery and got a reassuring response within a day.
My chicks got here just this morning. All 50 are lively and robust! I’m telling all my chicken-growing friends and will be ordering again.
Thanks, Freedom Ranger Hatchery! You are THE BEST!!!”
