Leghorn chickens come in a wide variety of colors: dark brown, buff, silver, black, red, with white being the most popular. These chickens lay huge amounts of white eggs that are medium to large in size. Although they can be shy and nervous, these birds are incredible egg producers and are hardy, though their large combs can be subject to frostbite in very cold climates. Leghorns also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.

Rhode Island Red Chickens / Rhodies

Rhode Island Red Chick


Rhode Island Red Rooster



Rhode Island Red Hen

Rhode Island Reds are very interactive chickens and are wonderful producers of medium to large size brown eggs. Though social and people oriented, they can become aggressive, especially the roosters. Overall, Rhode Island Reds are great birds to have in a backyard flock with their consistent egg production, hardiness (Rhode Island Reds are extremely hardy in both hot and cold climates), interest in people, and their entertaining antics (Rhodies have individual personalities that are endearing). Rhode Island Reds also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.
