Rhode Island Reds are a classic American breed, prized for their excellent egg production, hardiness, and rich, dark red plumage. Hens lay 250–300 large brown eggs per year, making them one of the most dependable layers available.

This dual-purpose breed also grows to a solid size, making it suitable for both eggs and meat. Rhode Island Reds are known for being tough, weather-resistant birds that perform well in a variety of climates and housing setups, from backyard coops to larger farm operations.

If you're looking for a hardy, productive, and low-maintenance breed with a strong track record, Rhode Island Reds are a timeless choice for any flock.

Valley Farms Hatchery has selectively bred the Rhode Island Red since 2012.
