The Benefits of the Single Comb Island Red Chicken
The Single Comb Rhode Island Red chicken is our most popular breed for brown egg laying production. They are a popular chicken choice for backyard chicken flocks because of their egg laying abilities and hardiness. Rhode Island Red chicks are a good choice for raising baby chickens naturally. Cackle Hatchery®’s blood line or stain is a heritage chicken production type, and it has been bred pure by Cackle Hatchery® Farms since 1936.
Rhode Island Red Pullet for Sale
The Rhode Island Red is a true heritage chicken breed. In addition to their superior egg production, many breeders produce the Rhode Island Red chicken for show. As a result, these chicks are a little darker red and do not produce as many eggs. The Roosters usually weigh in at 8.5 pounds (3.9 kg), the Hens weigh slightly less at 6.5 pounds (2.9 kg), cockerel at 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg), and pullets at 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg). Developed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, early flocks often had both single and rose combed individuals because of the influence of Malay blood.
Please note, Cackle Hatchery® only offers the single comb variety of the Rhode Island Red chicken breed (Production Type) for sale. We do not offer reshipments for these birds only a refund of the bird cost.
