I have some in my incubator currently. Also think I found the rooster. He was dancing for the ladies last night and then mounting them making sure his thing touches her thing.
Someone mentioned all RIR have black tail feathers. Actually all of my older hens have black tipped tail feathers also black markings show through their plumage very light. You just can’t see in the pics.
Well if anyone lives in Missouri and wants some chickens let me know! Or quail! I have way more than I should! I incubate year round and always have birds to share free of charge! Donations for chickens needs like a bag of feed or whatever is welcome! :-) or swaps.
If you guys don’t mind I put a post up about my older chickens having issues and no one is looking and responding. Click on my icon to look at my page to look at the post please! You guys/gals/it are AMAZING!
Exactly what I thought. The chickens are my 43 year old self midlife crisis therapy lol. I geek out on research and even write things in my Bird journals lol. My husband is starting to hate the birds and me 🫣
That’s cookie and she lays eggs she is older than the ones I am questioning BUT I don’t know the breed of her mom she is one of the older brown ones in this thread somewhere. Brownie Crimson or Skowflake. Dad is Silver Laced Wyandotte. I think she looks like a sussex or light brahma crazy!
And this is the first rooster I had which is related to every single one of these chickens genetically. He is the dad, grandpa, uncle, etc to all of these besides the 3 browns I’m trying to identify.
