Pros: Incredibly sweet and friendly, even the roosters are nice! They are good foragers and very hardy. And so pretty!!!
Cons: None. At all. Except maybe being too nice, and ending up on the bottom of the pecking order
I've had five of them for a little over two years now. I ordered them from Murray McMurray Hatchery, and they are the healthiest birds I've ever owned!
They are so beautiful and friendly, and they love cuddling <3
Unfortunately, they often get pushed to the bottom of the pecking order due to their unaggressive personalities, and can sometimes get beat up real bad by other birds. Thankfully, except for a few missing feathers, mine have gotten on fairly well, and are a great addition to my flock :)
Pros: Friendly around people, good layers, great free-rangers, and really cute
Cons: They can be incredibly mean to new birds, but after a while they get over it ;)
My first chickens ever were Rhode Island Reds, and two of them are still in my coop today :)
Even though I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, those first four turned out to be the sweetest birds I've ever had in my flock! (With the possible exception of Black Australorps)
They are real people-chickens, and love to be petted and cuddled. They come to me when I call "treats!" and hang around me whenever I'm working in the coop. Abbie, especially, is my baby :) She is the most spoiled chicken ever, but is still great at free-ranging and gets the most bugs out of all the hens.
Beware, they do NOT like new additions to the flock, and may attack viciously.... but give them a few months and everyone will be friends forever!
The only upsetting thing about them is that they only live to about three years old, although two of mine have surpassed that age, and Abbie still acts like a chick XD
