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...
Coming into spring my RhodeIsland hen 1 year old, has very little right wing feathers. I thought this was molting but it’s been happening for like 3.5 months. Why could this be? (Note I do not have roosters just little bantam hens)
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...
Chicks: Seeking RhodeIslandRed & True Muscovy in/near KC Missouri
Looking for a slow growing breed that's able to forage well, likes to be handled, can take Kansas City, MO weather. Seems the RhodeIslandRed is the right pick. Day olds are the preference.
Ducklings: Also seeking a true...
...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 I'm looking for a new home for my rooster in Parkville, Maryland. His name is Salt and he super sweet and docile. We really dont want to rehome but we arent allowed roosters in our county.
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!
