    Ruby or Reuben? Rhode Island Red, 5.5 weeks old, can't tell if it's a pullet....

    This chick was hatched by one of my hens 5 1/2 weeks ago. I feel like the comb on Ruby/Reuben is larger and pinker than my older RIR pullet was at 5 1/2 weeks. But there are no wattles.

    Helping with Sour Crop/Regurgitation

    Hi, I've never posted on a forum before, but I think we may have recently saved our at least extended our Rhode Island Red's (Lois) life with this. She has occasionally had mild sour crop issues.

    Gender Feedback (RIR/Mystery)

    I have a ~9 week old RIR who’s slightly bigger than her sisters, I got her from Wilco. The blonde is 9-10 weeks old and is an olive Egger, though I’m not sure what she’s mixed with. Thanks!

    Rhode Island hen ,wing

    Coming into spring my Rhode Island hen 1 year old, has very little right wing feathers. I thought this was molting but it’s been happening for like 3.5 months. Why could this be? (Note I do not have roosters just little bantam hens)

    Straight Run Buff Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds

    So, about 6 weeks ago we got 12 straight run chicks from Tractor Supply Co. We got 6 RIR and 6 Orpington. Now, I get the feeling I may only have about two hens of each kind 😅 I’ll share some pictures, and you guys can let me know what you think!
