Rhode Island Reds
- Not Broody
- Life span 5-8 years
- Among the best egg production of any chicken breed in the world: large eggs at 200-300 per year
Fun facts: this is the (appropriate) state bird for Rhode Island. They are the genetic cross of a Malay and a Brown Leghorn
The size and color of their bright red crop is a good indicator of health, although these birds are especially hearty.
