Pros: Inquizitive, Social

Cons: Talkative

She's only 20 weeks so no eggs quit yet.  She is a very funny girl who will start chattering as soon as she sees someone in the yard.  She will follow you around talking.  Easy to pick up.  I would only put talkative as a negative since I get nervous about neighbors getting bothered, but she is much quieter than the yappy dogs next door.  She makes me smile the most.  big_smile.png

The Rhode Island Reds are the best egg layers that we have. They're cute too!!
I'm so jealous, our RIR are flighty and shy... but so fantastic to look at.
Pros- great egg layers, mature early, cold-hardy, adequate foragers, attractive birds, large (light) brown eggs
Cons- aggressive, flighty, loud, prone to bad behaviors (egg eating, feather picking, resource hoarding, bullying others), small carcass with poor to fair breast development
A good production bird, but not a great addition to a mixed flock.
