Dixie Rainbow Growout Journal

[TimG]

I have three rangers that are almost 11 weeks old. Since there are only three I am trying to integrate them with my laying hens. One thing that I have noticed is that they cannot roost on the roosts that the hens use. At first I thought they just didn't want to. But, I have placed them on the roost and they fall off -- they seem incapable of balancing on it. (Actually on either -- one is flat and one is round.) They are just about as far from graceful as possible

Can the pictures be re-posted??

My guess is they just have not "learned" how to balance on the roost yet. I am holding a few back of my first two groups. I seperated them from the group at about 7-8 weeks. They all roost great now, but it took a little for them to figure it out.

How did your Rainbows turn out? I raise them all the time, but don't keep the feed records separate from other birds that we are raising at the time.

What is the difference between Rhodebars and Dixie Rainbow chickens?
