Rhode Island Reds
Rhode Island Reds are an old dual-purpose homestead standby known for their excellent production of large brown eggs. This is a hardy, vital, prolific laying strain that reaches the true heritage Rhode Island Red size. Great start for a sustainable home chicken flock for egg and meat production.
Our Rhode Island Red hens lay 250+ large dark brown eggs a year. Young roosters from our flock dress out at 5 lbs. at five months old. Our birds are vigorous and are excellent foragers. This is a quality strain that will also perform well in 4-H or FFA. Hens readily go broody and are exceptional mothers. Rhodie hens are extremely friendly and make good pets, too. We breed Rhodies for good temperament and do not retain aggressive cocks. Please see the price list below. Please contact us if you are interested in chicks. Sometimes we have a limited number of adults and adolescents available as well. They will be posted on this page when they become available.
