Rhode Island White

Heritage BreedsJune 8, 2015jenbreoadmin

Rhode Island White
Originating in 1888, the Rosecomb variety of the Rhode Island White was admitted to the APA in 1922. We offer the Single comb variety. The White has a broad, deep body with horizontal carriage, close tightly feathered brick- like appearance, with a broad flat head. Great winter layer of rich brown eggs, very docile and good dual layer/ meat fowl.

They are known as a dual purpose breed but because of their rapid growth and large carcass they are often used for meat. They have yellow skin, lay brown eggs and frequently go broody.
