A Rhode Island Red is a strain of chicken. They are very good laying hens, so most industrial layer hens have some of their genetics.
In addition to this, many studies related to layer hens have been conducted using the Rhode Island Red hen. For example, studies in optimal egg shell thickness.
There have been concerns that the Rhode Island Red, originating from Rhode Island, is an inbred strain and hence may have genetic issues. This is usually only a problem for purebred hens, and not crossbred hens with only a little of their genetic influence.
