Description
Originating in 1888, the rose comb variety of the Rhode Island White was admitted to the APA in 1922. The Rhode Island White chicken breed has a broad, deep body with horizontal carriage, close tightly feathered brick-like appearance, with a broad flat head. This chicken breed is a great winter egg layer of rich large brown eggs, very docile and good dual layer/meat fowl. This production type will have about 60% yellow legs and the other 40% will have a dirty/greenish leg color. Raising chickens can be fun and enjoyable with these very friendly hens.
