Prolific Egg Layers
The state bird of Rhode Island. It was developed there in the late nineteenth century. But through time have been developed more for egg production. They are active foragers but will tolerate confinement. They have lots of personality and can even be a bit pushy. Roosters can be aggressive, but occasionally one can be mild and gentle, so pick the least aggressive one if children are around. While they usually are not great mothers, the occasional one will be broody and makes a great mom. They are hardy birds and generally in excellent health.
