New chicken person! We thought we were sold Rhode Island Reds, but I was assured by every commenter on another post that they are not RIR. Well, one of these laid the egg. It is very exciting!! Edit: I found two more eggs later on in the day. Do I need to do anything to make them stronger...

I’m so sorry for your loss. It looks like it was quite cold outside. Is it possible she wasn’t able to keep warm and perished from the cold, and then partially eaten? Would you consider a hard sided enclosure for future rabbits? Maybe something like a mini dog house?

We have 6 Rhode Island Reds who are all supposed to be female. But check out the two with the combs (Waddles in back, Comie in the middle) Is it possible they just have manly traits?

Thank you got the response. 👍🏽

We have straw in ours. Not sure if that’s acceptable, but it’s what we’ve used for the week we’ve had our flock. Thoughts?

Thank you for the recommendations, and warm welcome. 🙂

Thank you! I will get on that! ❤️

Thank you for your message! Yes, it’s mixed chicken feed that contains corn, and things. The owner has a bin filled with this very grainy, grey colored, powder that sounds like the oyster shells, but I will check with him in the morning. I only gave them the core of my pear once, salad...

Thank you!!

Hello, All. We have 6 Rhode Island Reds, their abode was built by the property owner (with whom I live). I have happily taken on the responsibility of caring for their hens. We live in a rural part of San Diego, California. I quickly learned they need a poop pan under their standing pole...

What is the attached tray looking part on the exterior of the coop?
