These very attractive Chickens are a crossbreed of the Rhode Island Red Chicken and the Plymouth Rock Chicken.
They have black plumage with gold markings on the neck and chest. The iridescent black feathers have a sun catching green sheen.
They are very placid chickens and will happily live outside all year round.
Rhode Rocks are not blessed with intelligence, their survival depends on them being able to copy the other breeds of chicken in the flock. If you have a flock of just Rhode Rocks then you will have to teach them where to sleep as when the sun sets they will just lay on the ground!
