I have 5 rirs mine you can walk right up too and pet and they lay well. my roo is not as tame as my hens but is a handsome bird . I had 7 but they got eaten.
I had a hen for three years. She layed five days a week on a daily basis. she died so i got a new one hoping to replace her but it was a cockerl and he is a nice bird overal i recomend this breed Cant belive it!!! my cockerl juste attacked my magpie drake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
