Description
Originating in 1888, the rose comb variety of the Rhode Island White was admitted to the APA in 1922. Cackle Hatchery® Breeding Farms only offer the single comb Production type variety. The Rhode Island White chicken breed has a broad, deep body with horizontal carriage, close tightly feathered brick-like appearance, with a broad flat head. This chicken breed is a great winter egg layer of rich large brown eggs, very docile and good dual layer/meat fowl. The Rhode Island White Hen is also used in creating our Cinnamon Queen and Golden Comet breeds. This production type will have about 60% yellow legs and the other 40% will have a dirty/greenish leg color. Raising chickens can be fun and enjoyable with these very friendly hens.
General mating ratio is 10 females to 1 male for birds 6 months to 2 years of age.
General sleeping/roosting comfort height for this breed is a roost pole 2-4 feet high.

The 4 females I received are active and healthy. They should start laying any time now.

Arrived when projected. Got one male and one female. Half size of Rhode island reds that are same age. Chickens are calm, friendly and healthy. Great bug eaters. Haven’t seen a tick this past summer. Wish i could include pictures but no opinion for that. Great place to get any breed of bird whether chickens, ducks, geese etc

Extremely Happy
Ordered RIW’s and meat birds from you last year and have been extremely happy with all of them. They all arrived healthy and energetic. Unfortunately I lost many to predators and will be purchasing more real soon! The meat chickens taste great and the few laying hens I have left have layed eggs all through the winter. I can’t wait to get my next order. (I think I have learned enought about the predators around our place to ward them off this time!) Thank you also for your freindly service! Very pleased!!

thanks
Mrs. Smith and Jeff… just wanted you to know how pleased i am with the New hampshire chicks that i got from you .. i also got 5 white Rhode island pullets too.they are unbelievable layers too..have a friend about my age bracket 70 years old, that takes my excess eggs to sell. we cant keep up with the demand now.all the time he comes over as well as everyone else, keeps saying what a pretty batch of hens i have.the word is spreading around here where i got them from..a long story, but i ended up selling my friend some of my flock. got about 35 left.even the 2 roosters i got, never show any kind of aggressive behavior. my little grandson walks around them when he helps me gather eggs. something i used to worry about..just a beautiful batch of hens.. the bantams i got as a replacements, are all doing well, even though most turned out roosters, luck of the draw.pretty little things.
if i had a small place i was telling my brother, i would raise bantams.they hardly eat much, almost self sufficient..easy keepers..
all my years of having chickens, never had such pretty and wonderful hens like i have in these New Hamps. God Bless,
