    4 week old RIR Drama!🐔

    Hello! I am a new chicken mom 🙋‍♀️! I brought home six (2 day old) chicks on Feb 27th from the local feed store, where they stated 90% of the chicks are females.

    Barred Rock rooster x on 2 Production Brown hens, 1 smaller Easter Egger & 2 RIR hens

    I have a lovely Barred Rock Rooster. We hatched 5 eggs in the incubator. One egg was blue from my small Easter Egger, two dark brown from the RIR, and two lighter brown from my ISA Brown hens. Since we were gone when they hatched, I have no clue who hatched out of which colored egg. Wish I did...

    Thoughts on what breeds these are? Cochin, Brahma, RIR, PBR, B. Orpington?

    I’m a complete newbie; starting out with 8 chicks, hatched 11/4/2019. I wanted a variety and thought it would be fun to figure out what they were from a couple of the Meyer’s assortments. I ordered 3 from the production pack, 2 from the rare assortment, 2 from the rainbow assortment and also...

    Rhode Island Red laid a white egg?

    Our RIR chickens are 15 months old and one of them laid a white egg today. Has this happened to anyone else? I read it could be because of molting but I also read that molting doesn't usually start until 18 months. Would love some insight from anyone knowledgeable in this. :-) thank you!

    New to Chickens and want advice on breeding

    Hello all and am excited to make my first post. I have 10 8 week old hens (2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Golden Buffs, 2 Cream Legbars, and 2 Barnevelders). It is really interesting getting to see their personalities develop. The idea of breeding to blend their traits really fascinates...

    Rhode Island Red with a very swollen butt, loss in appetite, and pale floppy comb.

    Recently, my rir has not been looking that good. She is a middle aged hen who has recently stopped laying. She is lethargic and tired-looking around the coop; and I can tell that she has had a massive loss in her appetite ( I can tell by how her crop is completely empty). Her butt also seems...

    Male or Female RIR?

    This Rhode Island Red I got from the local feed store (sourced from Hoover’s Hatchery) is supposed to be a pullet, however today I noticed the start of curved tail feathers, with a beautiful green sheen. Does this mean male? It is about 10-11 weeks old. Sorry for the poor picture. It’s camera shy.

    10 x 12 How Many Chickens

    I currently have a plastic DIY shed that is 10' by 12'. They have a very large area outside but I'm wondering how many chickens this would fit. Bared rocks or RIR's to be exact. I've kept chickens in it before but am looking to find out what the optimal number would be. Thanks.

    Any experience integrating new chickens into flock of RIR?

    I have a 1 year old flock of 9 Rhode Island Reds who have been fairly easy and good layers. I’m raising some new chicks now who are 6-10 weeks old and going to start integrating them. Two of my new chicks are 10 weeks so I thought I would integrate them first since they’ve been on their own for...
