Rhode Island Reds

The deep, rich color and blocky body type is what makes a standard-bred Rhode Island Red so distinctive and instantly recognizable. But many people aren't aware of the vast differences between the original RIR - one of the most important breeds of the early settlers - and the modern versions. Old, authentic, well-bred lines are docile, friendly, heavily-built, and all-purpose--a far cry from the common commercial strains.

After a few years away from raising this breed I'm thrilled to once again be working with Reds, and focusing on the old, and now very rare, Rose Comb type.
The iconic RIR was a pioneer favourite and remains an ideal farm and acreage chicken today.
