A village in the smallest state built a stone monument to a chicken.

Breeders around Little Compton and Adamsville fixed the type in the late nineteenth century by crossing local hens with Asian and Mediterranean imports. Adamsville raised a monument to the bird in 1925, and the breed is now the official state bird.
