Description
The Rhode Island Red is a chicken breed raised for meat and egg production and also as show birds. They are a popular choice for backyard flocks because of their egg laying abilities and hardiness. The bird's feathers are rust-colored often with white streaks, however darker shades are known, including maroon bordering on black. Their eyes are red-orange and they have yellow feet, with reddish-brown beaks. Chicks are a light red to tan color with two dark brown bars running down their backs. The Roosters usually weigh in at 8.5 pounds, the Hens slightly less at 6.5 pounds, cockerel at 7.5 pounds.

The Rhode Island Reds are friendly chickens with a good nature. They are good pets for children. Frequent layers, Rhode Island Reds are noted for their brown eggs. Although they can sometimes be stubborn, they can end up producing up to 200 eggs a year but a healthy one can lay more. Healthy hens can lay up to 6-7 eggs per week depending on their care and treatment. Rhode Island Red hens lay many more eggs than an average hen if provided plenty of quality feed.

As always, we welcome you to browse our hens for sale to find the backyard chickens you're looking for!
