How long does it take a Rhode Island red chicken to grow for slaughter?

Rhode Island Reds are a dual purpose bird and are used for both eggs and meat. They grow slower than breeds designed specifically for meat. The roosters grow to slaughter size by about 16 weeks with proper feed and finishing. Hens can be held longer and ready for the table by 18 weeks but muscle development is slow enough to hold off slaughter until both genders reach as much as 28 weeks, allowing for a full 4 to 6 lb carcass.

How long does it take a chick to grow to slaughter?
From what I've read, usually about 8-10 weeks old. There are breeds of chicken which gain several pounds in that span of time and which would have health problems later in life if permitted to live.
Which states that do not grow corn?
Alaska, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont do not produce corn. The Person who wrote this comment above is incorrect. Yes Alaska and Hawaii do not grow corn. But seriously you think Massachusetts doesn't grow corn. If people know there history, you would know that the Native Americans in Massachusetts grew the 3 sisters. CORN, beans, and squash. They also grew strawberries, watermelon, pumpkins etc. Even today the New England states grow corn. Most farms in All of New England except for Rhode Island, Maine, and New Hampshire grow corn. Not sure about Nevada, but if they can grow corn in Arizona, they must be able to grow corn in Nevada.
