Rhode Island Red
Breeders first developed the Rhode Island Red chicken breed in New England during the late 19th Century. Selective breeding involving Red Malay Game, Cochin, Leghorns, Java, and Shanghai birds resulted in this all-American breed. It is also the state bird of Rhode Island and an all around top choice for the backyard flock.
Their hardy nature and reliable egg laying make them one of the most sought after breeds in America.
A Rhode Island Red hen will produce approximately 250 to 280 medium to large brown eggs per year.
