Size and Color: ISA Browns are considered small to medium sized. They generally weigh around five pounds. When you take your first look at them, they appear so similar to Rhode Island Reds that you might mistake them for one. However, when you closely look at them, you will see that their red or brown color is lighter than Rhode Island Reds. They are more of a light chestnut brown in color.

Egg Laying: There is no doubt that the ISA Brown is one of the best egg layers of all chicken breeds. It can lay more than 300 large brown eggs every year. ISA Brown hens were developed to not be broody. There are a few hens who may brood but not all the time. Still, they make good moms to their chicks.

Temperament: The ISA Brown is very sweet and friendly. It is a docile disposition. They tend to be quiet most of the time – sitting in their nest or even in the backyard. ISA Browns are also known for being affectionate with their owners. They enjoy being held, sitting on their owner’s laps, and cuddling with them. They will tend to follow you around when you have treats in your pocket. They can sometimes jump onto your lap to just sit there. ISA Browns can also tolerate confinement very well. But they do like to forage and free range at times. They can look for bugs or worms for their consumption. ISA Brown is a breed mainly made for the people’s benefit. They are very low maintenance hence they are the perfect breed for beginner chicken owners. If you are getting a chicken coop in your backyard, they can become lovable pets to your families. Certainly, adding them into your chicken flock will not be a problem because ISA Browns are non-aggressive. They even bond well with kids.
