Serious fights follow certain breeds, especially game types. That doesn't mean others will never get really violent, just less likely. I have had at least roosters as long as I have had my flock, for more than a year. Since rebuilding my...

Welcome t the wonderful world of chickieporn... makes ya feel kinda silly watching it, dont it? lol All perfectly normal for them. In my flock, it seems the roos love to go after the hens right as they come out of the coop into the run,...

When I ordered my chicks last year from My Pet Chicken they were all listed as RIR. I noticed that they now actually list a limited supply of Heritage RIR, in addition to their usual RIR. Remember, the difference is in whether they are...

A friend and I split an order of 25 RIR chicks last year. I didn't understand the whole production red thing either, at the time. All of ours have been very productive layers, though a few actually laid the big brown eggs they're...
