RIR or something else?

The first photo is a little blurry, and you can only see her head but you can see her color. She was just a day old. The second is at 2 weeks. The last two at 4 weeks.

True Rhode Island Reds can only really be procured through a preserver/breeder.

A production red bird. Most likely a pullet, which I assume is good news!!!

Awesome! I brought home three mystery chicks that day hoping for all females, I live in a subdivision and can't have a rooster.

What exactly does production red mean?

 

[Fred's Hens]

A red bird, bred for high egg production.

Hatcheries and feedstores do not sell true bred Rhode Island Reds nor New Hampshires bred to the accepted standard.

They produce and/or sell very healthy, inexpensive, available, high egg producing red birds.

Enjoy them and the eggs. If you decide in the future, you'd like to have true bred birds, you'd have to secure them from someone who preserves them and breeds them. This is the only way they are available. Hope that helps.

thanks! That's just what I want - lots of yummy, healthy eggs!!! Not too concerned about her breed, although I do have an order coming from Murray McMurray. I just wanted some variety but the goal is healthy, free range eggs better than you can get at Whole Foods!! I'm a personal trainer and I really care about where my food comes from.
