Yes, they are all part of the same species (Gallus gallus domesticus), so it is possible for them to mate and produce fertile offspring. One of the only reasons that wouldn't work is if the hen or the rooster is too small. If one is a bantam, it will be hard.
my rooster. if u know what i mean.
Rhode Island's state mascot is the Red Rooster(Rhode Island Red).
Foghorn Leghorn is a Leghorn rooster, not a Rhode Island Red.

NO, neither breed is sexlinked. What you need to do is breed a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster with a Barred Rock(Black Stars) or Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster and a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Rhode Island White or Delaware hen(all Red Stars) and you will get sexlinked chicks. The chicks that hatch out solid black are pullets(hens) and the chicks that hatch out black but with a large yellow dot on top of their heads are cockerels(males).This answer is wrong. The rooster has to be the Rhode Island Red and the hen the White Leghorn. The pullets will have reddish fluff and the males will have yellow fluff leading to white feathers.
Answer:a specific breed of Male Rooster assumingly originating from, Rhode Island.
The consensus is that it is a Rhode Island Red rooster and a Rhode Island White hen. They have been breeding for thirty years.

Yes All chickens will lay eggs without the need for a rooster. All a rooster does is fetilize the eggs, it does not induce the hen to lay an egg, she will do this anyway.
yes and no. i you want to produce pure bred RIR you must get a RIR Rooster. If you don't care if they are purebred you can get any breed of rooster. ..prinsesrau answer.... hens can have part rir chicks if there rir or if the rooster is. yes it depends if u weant pure rir if that is the case hen and rooster need to be rir
NO, hens don't need a rooster to lay at ALL. The amount of eggs laid, varys between the Age,Breed, and happiness of the hen. Good layers are Rhode Island Reds,Barbed Rock,Aracona,Americona,and many more. The only need for a rooster when it comes to eggs, is to fertilize them (threw Mating) so a chick will hatch.
