Description
Harvey is named such because he showed up with the tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Harvey. He seems quite happy living on my property, and no, I'm not getting him any chickens. :)
The Rhode Island Red is an American breed of domestic chicken. It was developed in the late nineteenth century in Massachusetts and Rhode Island by cross-breeding birds of Oriental origin such as the Malay with brown Leghorn birds from Italy. It was formerly 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" by The Livestock Conservancy.
The Rhode Island Red is the state bird of Rhode Island. It is one of only three state birds that is not a species native to the United States.
