I got another suprise roo that was later developer than one outta the same batch, funny his tail feathers are so short but he's definitely developed the roo attitude, thats 2 outta 4 that I had to rehome

How old were your girls when they started laying? I know I've got a while to go (mine are about 9 weeks) but I'm curious what the range is.

My girls are now 8 wks

Got to vamp up the RIR since my entire flock is this breed. The picture is "Mulberry", she was the one I hand picked out of what the store had at the time I was there.

 

[rob1911]

All 5 of them, just starting.

Still waiting at about 3 months but they are too spoiled to know they are really chickens.

Ok so a little off topic I guess but one of my RIR hens that is almost two years old is trying to become a roo? She has become aggressive with people and is only laying jelly eggs every couple of days. She also "crows" like a roo.... is there anything I can do or do I count her as a loss? I won't get a roo because I have a toddler and he is already petrified of the chickens now that she attacks him. He used to love them..

anyoneknow why his wings are like that? I only got them a month ago they are 6 months old ,I don't know much about their history.

This is my red. She's so beautiful and I love her feather. The thing about her is that she sometimes doesn't let you carry her but I still do. I don't know if all RIR's are the same so let me know you guys plus she's my first hen ever !
