    Chicken Breed Focus Rhode Island Red

    Oh my goodness, how do you keep that many roosters? Do they get along? Bartering for feed, that sounds like a great idea. I just hatched chicks two weeks ago from an incubator we bought online. I sold 20 of them to a lady today. No, we didn't put him in the freezer. Probably should...

    Chicken Breed Focus Rhode Island Red

    Yes, I knew I would get some peanuts and that they would be roosters. I ordered 24 RIR pullets and 1 BO rooster. With that order I only got 2 peanuts and both were RIR roosters. I already had 2 roosters so that's why I gave them (RIR roos) away. Once my BO was older, I sold my BA rooster...

    Chicken Breed Focus Rhode Island Red

    I have noticed they do have very different personalities from my EE and GSL. Years ago when I had Production Red's they would follow me around the yard, jump up into my lap if I sat on the deck.

    I've had Production Reds before and loved them. I ordered RIR specifically from Ideal. They have the hump before their tail feathers. I've had no reason to believe different but anythings possible. Beautiful chicken, btw.

    Chicken Breed Focus Rhode Island Red

    Yes, she's a hen without a doubt. I purchased my RIR from Ideal's Poultry last January. I got 2 RIR roos as peanuts when I ordered my RIR pullets, I gave them away when they were a couple months old. She looks exactly like all my other 8 month old hens. I actually picked her up after she made...

    Chicken Breed Focus Rhode Island Red

    I have 24 RIR hens. This morning I heard the funniest sound coming from the coop. It started out like a clucking sound but ended up like a crow and then it happened again. I only have 1 rooster, a BO, so I looked out in the backyard and he was there. I went inside the coop and 3 of my RIR...
