Rhodebar

Pullets & Cockerels available.

Lays brown eggs.

uilt upon the legendary practicality of the Rhode Island Red, a dual purpose breed that was developed in the United States in the late 1800s. Famous for prodigiously laying tinted eggs, the Rhode Island Red lacked one quality that was highly prized in Britain: the ability to produce sexable day-old chicks. The creation of the Rhodebar solved that problem. It has retained the egg-laying ability of the Rhode Island Red, but it has the additional benefit of producing visibly sexable chicks
