Description
Heritage Rhode Island Reds are the most successful dual-purpose bird and backyard chicken.  They're a very hardy, sturdy breed and even with limited conditions the hens will still produce eggs.
Don't confuse this bird with what the large hatcheries are selling, they're nothing alike! Hens can lay up to 200+ eggs per year. They're a non-aggressive bird, super melo and calm. Even the roosters are super docile.
