Hey all, just wanted to pop in a post a coupe pic's of our RIR Roo, Rojo. He is17 weeks old and already a very big boy. He has great instincts as far as guarding and alerting the ladies. He is working in tandem with our alpha buff orph roo on calling back and forth when they suspect danger.

thanks he is starting to get really pretty. He hates to be caught but is completely still once you get him. Now all that being said, I am only 4 ft 10 in so he may look giant next to me, lol!

you will have to post some more pictures when his tail finishes coming in.

What a pretty roo! We have 2 RIRs 18 weeks old...anxiously awaiting our first eggs lol. My most friendly chicken is one of our RIRs. She comes and chats with me every time I walk outside

Just wanted to show a pic of our two RIR Roo's, we got in our rainbow pullet pack. The bigger one is Rojo and the other one we call Little Red. Believe it or not Rojo is second in command to a Buff Orph Roo the same age.
