Rhode Island Reds
Brown egg producers
Rhode Island Reds are a breed of domestic chicken developed in the northeastern United States, prized for both egg production and meat.
The birds have distinctive dark reddish-brown plumage.
Hardy and adaptable, they became one of America's most popular dual-purpose farm breeds: We kept Rhode Island Reds because they laid reliably through winter.
