Good luck with your new flock!
 
What are RIRs? Those black tail white japs are beautiful! I almost bought a leghorn but after talking with a few people decided against it. They apparently aren't the friendliest. I have 2 littlest so I hand to have nice feathered friends :)

they are rhode island reds, the most common for little 4h kids to show, I only bought the leghorn because I wanted to see what color my roo is carrying I think blue but it would be brown, my hen lays a light green to blue color and they came from the same place, and I know they can be rather unfriendly, but if you handle them enough they will become friendly, another option for littles are silkies.
