Thank you everyone!
And thank you to the poster who let me know that my RIR chickens were actually red sex links! I googled pictures and of course they are nearly identical! And the little "con" blurb on the BYC.com site about them eating like horses is spot on!
Hello!
I live in the high desert area of Southern California. I currently own 5 hens - 2 d'uccles, 1 cochin-type mix (I think. I got her from an animal shelter), and 2 RIR (or mixes).
The two d'uccles are too young to lay, but I am hoping they will start laying soon! I got them from a chicken...
