    New Hampshire Rer or Rhode Island Red?

    Will someone please explain the difference between Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire Reds? I have heard that the Rhode Island Reds don't go broody. Is that true? Which would you choose for the purposes of having a broody that would raise her own chicks? Thanks
