Rhode Island Red Thread!

[Donnadell]

The combs on my RIR are turning light pink and slumped over!! Anyone know what causes this and why???

 

[TheTwoRoos]

There is nothing wrong with a slumped over comb.Every winter my birds combs differ then as spring approaches they go back to normal summer combs.One of my hens combs are straight up then slump.

My lead hens comb does a very odd change.It gets all thich and puffy and red while in summer its skinny loose and large.

I just got 5 new chicks! And 2 of them are Rhode Island Reds! On this thread you can post pictures and start discussions! SO POST AWAY!

I just got a 6 month old RIR rooster to put with my 5 leghorn hens. Do you have any tips for me?

I have Rhode Island Reds, White and Brown Leghorns. I never tried breeding them together. It should be very interesting since one is a white egg layer and the other brown. Keep us posted.

If he is 6 months old, he should strt to crow soon. My Leghorn males start at a couple of months old. They are too funny sounding with their high pitched squeak crows
