It is the state bird of Rhode Island.[2]: Š70 Š It was developed there and in Massachusetts in the late nineteenth century, by cross-breeding birds of Oriental origin such as the Malay with brown Leghorn birds from Italy. It was a dual-purpose breed, raised both for meat and for eggs; modern strains have been bred for their egg-laying abilities. The traditional non-industrial strains of the Rhode Island Red are listed as "watch" (medium conservation priority, between "recovering" and "threatened") by The Livestock Conservancy. It is a separate breed to the Rhode Island White.  The Rhode Island Red was bred in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the second half of the nineteenth century, by selective breeding of birds of Oriental origin such as the Cochin, Java, Malay and Shanghai with brown Leghorn birds from Italy. The characteristic deep red plumage derived from the Malay. The State of Rhode Island celebrated the centenary of the breed in 1954, when the Rhode Island Red Monument was raised at the William Tripp farm, in Little Compton, Rhode Island.  The Rhode Island Red is probably one of the most successful chicken breeds in the world!  It has spread from its homeland to all corners of the globe and is thriving even in the face of the modern industrial hens and intensive farming practices.  Why is it so successful?  They certainly are a bird that requires little in the way of care and is usually extremely healthy.  My personal opinion is because it is such a personable chicken “ I have never met a Rhode Island hen that I didn ™t like!     Thanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
