Just to help yall, I found out recently by watching multiple batches, how easy it really is to sex RhodeIslandreds. Not at 1 day old, but by about 2 weeks, and just fully confirmed by 4 weeks.
See here. Both 2 and a half weeks old. In both pictures, one is almost fully feathered, and the...
Looking at these two breeds (females only) for backyard chickens within city. Are they both generally quiet, good layers and do well in an enclosed space? Would generally love to know any advice about both breeds.
Looking for cold-hardy, few health problems, quiet, and efficient layers since we...
...first time chicken owner.
We got six chicks at tractor supply a week ago today and they were all from the female container. Three Rhodeislandreds and three Olives.
I have a feeling we have a rooster on our hands, or a cockeral. Two of the RIR’s look alike and the other is different. Not...
...probably a mix cus can't seem to figure what breed he is, but there is one thing I noticed about him
He has yellow legs and has kind of a Rhodeislandred colouring to him that is asides the black on his chest
So I was wondering if there's anyone that have had any RIR mix that turned out...
...I have been able to order fertile hatching eggs with 50% odds of hatching due to the rough shipping. I was able to get a batch of Rhodeislandreds to hatch, but they haven't done as well as I hoped. My first group only hatched 2 hens and 6 roosters. I will be trying to get birds of 2 other...
How do these girls do in the winter? Do they perform like Australorps and Austrawhites? That is a short Autumn break during molt then lay throughout winter.
I am wondering if anyone has a minute to show me pics of their RhodeIslandRed chicks that are maybe 6 weeks old.
I hatched some eggs from a friend. I sorted out the mixes.... and now I am left with 7 and I have no idea what I'm looking at here.
I've got big combs and little combs. I've...

...to our wishes 🙌. So why not add a few chickens to our family?
We did a bit of a research and think that we would love to buy 3-5 RhodeIslandRed which we scheduled to pick up the middle of March. Before that, we want to get things ready for the girls... Their chicken house / coop and the...
Hi
Please see pics of two of my chickens ..RhodeIslandRed and White Leghorn.
RIR - grew some spiky black hairs near her Neck and thinning all over the body.
White Leghorn - Saw a red muchas or something in the rear near her vent.
I have 11 chickens and most of them are Molting. 8 of the...
So, about 6 weeks ago we got 12 straight run chicks from Tractor Supply Co.
We got 6 RIR and 6 Orpington.
Now, I get the feeling I may only have about two hens of each kind 😅
I’ll share some pictures, and you guys can let me know what you think!
I recently rescued a RhodeIslandRed. A neighbor saw a chicken under some brush in the neighborhood two days in row and asked if it was ours. We have 4 chickens. My oldest is a 4 year old Orpington ( Georgia ) and 3 - 6 month old Easter Eggers… with that being said, I am hoping to include this...
Hi new to this site but have read many suggestions from here. This is my second RhodeIslandRed hen that is sick. The first one passed a week ago. The 2nd one has similar symptoms. They both stopped laying a year and a half ago. They would be 3 in may. I think both laid a lash egg or two a...
Last year I got RhodeIslandreds and accidentally got an ISA brown. Is there a way to distinguish the eggs so I don't hatch out a Rhodeislandred x isa brown? I noticed two egg colors, any clue if one might be isa brown and the other Rhodeislandred?
Hey! Looking to rehome 4 Silver Lakenvelders (egg production set. 200) and 4 RhodeIslandReds (egg production est. 265) They're all perfectly healthy and doing well! My daughter purchased these breeds without asking for permission and our coop is not big enough for 8 additional chickens. I...
