What is the duration or time frame in which a Rhode Island Red lays eggs?
The Rhode Island Red, a popular breed of chicken known for its egg-laying prowess, typically begins laying eggs around 5 to 6 months of age. Once they start, they continue to lay consistently for up to 3 years. These hardy hens usually produce around 200 to 300 large brown eggs annually, making them a reliable choice for egg production in backyard flocks.
