Yes Both breeds have genetic traits desirable for meat and egg production.
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.
Rhode Island's state mascot is the Red Rooster(Rhode Island Red).
Any breed can get along with Rhode Island Reds. But you can only intruduce this other breed and more chickens when they are little. If you don't do that, there will be severe fighting with the chickens.
Rhode Island's state insect is the American burying beetle, which was designated as the official state insect in 2015. It is a rare species of beetle known for its striking black and orange coloring.
Could be one of several breeds or a crossbreed. Rather than give you a guess that would probably be wrong I will give you a good website so you can look at different breeds. If it is a crossbreed this will not really help much. Try Araucana/Americana/Rhode Island When you get to the site check the Breed Name area on the left and click blue links for pictures of that breed.

Answer:a specific breed of Male Rooster assumingly originating from, Rhode Island.
It is a breed of chicken.
Rhode Island is not an island, it is a state in the northeast U.S.A. and would have the same animals as the rest of the northeast. The most famous animal would the Rhode Island Red, a breed of chicken known for it wonderful color and excellent egg production.
It depends on the breed. Rhode Island Reds have red feathers. Leghorns have white feathers. Other breeds include feather colours such as black, brown, or a mix of red, white, brown and black.
