Rhode Island Red
The Rhode Island Red is one of the most iconic and dependable American chicken breeds, known for its exceptional egg production, hardiness, and easygoing temperament. Originally developed in New England, this breed has earned a reputation as one of the best all-purpose birds for both beginners and experienced poultry keepers.
Rhode Island Red hens are outstanding layers, producing 200–300 large brown eggs per year. They mature quickly, lay consistently, and remain productive across many seasons. Their deep mahogany plumage, alert stance, and sturdy build make them both beautiful and durable members of any flock.
These birds are confident, active, and adaptable, thriving in both free-range and coop environments. They handle a wide range of climates well and are especially noted for their resilience and strong foraging instincts. Their friendly but self-reliant nature makes them suitable for mixed flocks and a variety of backyard setups.
