Is it common for RIR to mature slow? I got a couple from a good breeder to along with black australorps and the BA's are double the size of the RIR and there all 6 months old.

Some of my JimmyJay "babies", was trying to take individual pics but they wouldn't cooperate.

I've put all of mine together for the moment but it sounds like it won't be long until I"ll have to seperate them, was also trying to save steps and the hens just don't like them and just now are starting back to laying another problem to solve on my hilltop, pens pens everywhere. And Jimmy maybe you need to move South and fight the fireants, not too many mosquitos at my farm but no snow as of yet but can't ever tell.

OH MY GOSH NOOOOO. I can't take the heat. lol When it gets over 70 w/humidity I can't stand it. Thanks anyway. I'll fight the breaking ice. lol
