Description
Here at Stromberg’s Chickens, we are proud to offer Rhode Island Red hatching eggs, a selection from a breed that originated in the U.S.
The Rhode Island Red is celebrated as a dual purpose breed as these chickens provide exceptional meat quality and excellent egg laying. Rhode Island Red Hens produce 150-250 large brown eggs per year, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh eggs.
Though their comb is subject to frostbite, Rhode Island Reds still have good heat and cold tolerance. This makes them a flexible choice for both commercial breeders and enthusiasts.
Easy to Handle Breed
The Rhode Island Red breed is a single comb and clean-legged variety. It is not just hardy. It also possesses a docile temperament.
These attributes make Rhode Island Red chickens perfect for both novice and experienced poultry keepers. They require straightforward upkeep. But take note that this chicken breed is bred for production, not for 4-H showing or breed traits.
The males typically weigh around 8.5 lbs while the females are slightly lighter at 6.5 lbs.
