12 rhode island red chicken hatching eggs- great layers
The Rhode Island Reds are friendly chickens with a good nature. They are very good pets for children, but they can get angry when annoyed. They are a utility breed, raised for meat and eggs, and also as show birds. They are a popular choice for backyard flocks because of their egg laying abilities and hardiness. Non-industrial strains of the Rhode Island Red are listed as recovering by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. The bird's feathers are rust-colored, but darker shades are known, including maroon bordering on black. Their eyes are red-orange and they have yellow feet, with reddish-brown beaks. Chicks are a light red to tan color with two dark brown bars running down their backs. The Roosters usually weigh in at 8.5 pounds, the Hens slightly less at 6.5 pounds.
These are not the industrial strand. These birds are directly off two different lines of show quality birds. I have not shown my birds so I can not say they are show birds but the parents were. These birds have the dark maroon coloring mentioned in the description above and would make a great addition to anyones flock. Since the rooster helps determine how dark the coloring is these would be a good choice to add the coloring back into your existing flock, or to start a new flock of quality birds.
