My two girls took 9 months to start laying, but being able to deliver eggs, with the occasional blue/green one mixed in, has made my egg people happy - well and me too. They don't seem to be anywhere in the pecking order, they are just there. Not an affectionate breed, but one follows me everywhere and seems to be my #1 fan - I can not hold her, she is just content to hang out. They winter very well, have no fear of snow, ice or rain.

Have a feeling that my 6 RIR's are not normal. They are mellow and just want to be loved on. They do become pests when the feed scoop comes out, but other than that have not had any issues with them or do they pick on the other breeds.. The girls all give an egg a day - even through winter (no added light and only turned on heat lamp when it was 15 or lower outside). My flock will always have RIR's in it.
