    Red Ranger Chickens

    I was asked for an update in my red rangers. All of them are culled and dressed out over 6 lbs each. One was 8 lbs. They were amazingly huge. It took a little longer to grow than the parental units, but they were wonderful and friendly. I kept a single hen because I hand fed her during the...

    Red Ranger Chickens

    P.S. The big rooster in the pic is a strait red ranger. I wanted to get a new daddy to breed so that this coming season would not be inbreeding. Red Rangers are all 4 way crosses. You have 4 original breeds that are crossed to make offspring that are a mix of 2 breeds. Those are then crossed...

    Red Ranger Chickens

    I don't think my assessment is going to be all that great. I have been feeding everyone during some of the coldest parts of the year and they are still growing but at a MUCH slower rate than the original parental group because they are using it to stay warm rather than grow bigger. The roo's...

    Red Ranger Chickens

    I picked up this big guy off craigslist. I hope to use him for next years breeding. Don't know how much he weighs. As you can see, the offspring of the Red Ranger rooster and Red Ranger Hens are still not as big as I would like. They are 13 weeks. Roo 1 = 5 lbs Roo 2 = 4 lbs Hen 1 = 4 lbs Hens...

    Red Ranger Chickens

    I would like 5-6 pounds. The biggest is currently 4 pounds 12 ounces at 10 weeks. I think 12-14 weeks should do about right.

    Red Ranger Chickens

    10 weeks now. I think I will start weighing them to see how fast they are growing. I think their growth rate is a bit slower than their parents who were straight Red Rangers.

    Red Ranger Chickens

    The red ones are my Red Ranger Cross Red Ranger. They are 9 weeks and almost as big as my standard hens. I dont see a difference in them compared to the parents which were purchased from a hatchery. I was told that crossing the 4 way crosses would not result in anything close to what the...

    Red Ranger Chickens

    Rooster and hens were all Red Rangers. The chicks have feathers on their legs like Marans. They were hatched on the 7 and 8 of Sep and already have a bunch of feathers.

    Red Ranger Chickens

    I know this is an older threat, but I just put a RIR in with my Red Rangers. This is what they look like.
