Rhode Island Reds are very good egg-layers and thrive on free-range. They form the basis of most modern egg-producing fowl. Males are big enough to be used as table birds which makes the Rhode a true dual-purpose breed.

Our stock is proven quality. View the attached photos of our parent stock, this is what they should look like! The colour should be dark brown (Mahogany) with no white feathers showing in the outer plumage. Adult Males should weigh between 3.2 and 4.8 kg and adult females 2.4 to 3.6 kg. Anything else are not true Rhodes!

All our poultry are vaccinated against New Castle Disease (NCD) and Infectious Bronchitis (IB). During the rainy (mosquito) season chicks older than 4 weeks are also vaccinated against Fowl Pox (FP). FP is a disease brought in by mosquitoes and, once in a flock, spreads rapidly from bird to bird. Mortality is about 70%. Our adult stock is also vaccinated against Gamboro. See our website www.grepoultry.co.za for more info on the poultry diseases you need to vaccinate against and how to do it.
