My neighbor judges chickens at the county fair and her grandson shows them with 4H. She said he is definitely a RIR because he has reddish-orange eyes and yellow legs. She said that there are some that try to pass for RIR called "production Reds" but she said that they are smaller than my guy...
Huh... I wonder what he is, then. I'm very new to chickens and can't really tell one from the other without someone telling me what to look for. He does have very bright, yellow legs when they aren't caked in mud.
He does only have a single comb, its just really bumpyish. The first picture does make it look like two, but its just one big red thing on his head. Its a really thick comb.
I just got a rooster that came with his flock, and to be honest I am a bit nervous because my previous experiences with a rooster were not great. I have been able to pick him up and I held him upside down the other day but he's still a bit of an arrogant ass. He's a BEAUTIFUL Rhode Island Red...
