Rhode Island Red Started Pullet

Single Comb Rhode Island Reds are deep red to dark red chickens with strong bodies, yellow skin, and practical farm build. They are known for hardiness, productivity, and classic backyard appearance.

Cackle’s production-type Rhode Island Red bloodline is bred for egg production and flock performance. Exhibition-type Rhode Island Reds are often darker red and bred more for show qualities, but they may not lay as heavily as production-type birds.

Roosters usually weigh about 8.5 pounds, hens about 6.5 pounds, cockerels about 7.5 pounds, and pullets about 5.5 pounds. Cackle’s Rhode Island Red breed facts list the same standard weights and describe the breed as dual purpose for egg laying and meat production.
