Eight weeks ago we bought 5 unsexed chicks. 1 I’m certain is a hen 3 I’m certain are Roos but this one I can’t decide. The chicken is smaller than the roosters, and feathers have grown differently, but the comb is bigger than the hen and red. Any thoughts on whether it’s hen or roo?
I have 4 chickens - 2 black australorps and 2 rhode island reds. All were about a week old when we got them on june 22nd.
In that time, we had a big move to an area 2 and half hours northeast of where we were in Pennsylvania. We had sprung backwards due to daylight savings where we start to...

Would this guy be some type of Rhode Island Red? Wanting to incubate some eggs and was just curious what type of mix he might be. He’s a handsome guy and has a lovely attitude.
Hello!
I’ve had these chicks since beginning of March. The feed store said they were a mix. RIR and Black Australorps. Now I have 9 of them…I’m guessing 2 BAs are Roos and 3 maybe 4 RIRs are Roos. The BAs have bigger combs than the other two and much stockier and thicker legs with bigger feet...
We are attempting to hatch some eggs this year. Over the winter we lost 2 hens to cats. We have one hen that's been pretty broody lately so we decided to see if she will hatch the eggs. We had to start removing the ceramic eggs from whenever she was brooding because she wouldn't leave them...
i got a flock of rare/standard chicks delivered, still trying to figure out what these ladies are. any ideas?
i have 5 that look the exact same, although 3 have what appears to be pea combs and the others are a tad more pronounced and look like single combs. the photo above illustrates two...
I've ordered 1 maran roo and 25 rir to just have a fun experiment 😀. I'm looking to breed a more frequent layer of dark brown eggs. I know some have done this but I'm curious about egg color. Does anyone have any photos?
Hi all,
Just noticed this on my smallest Rhode Island Red (smallest of the flock, but I haven't noticed her getting bullied specifically). Do I need to do anything with this or should I let it heal up on its own? She's acting normally as far as I can tell, occasionally shaking her head but...
I got these from Tractor Supply. They were supposed to be Is a Browns. I'm not familiar with the breed. However, they look just like the Rhode Island Reds I used to have. Not sure if they are Is a or Reds.
My pullet is almost six month old. I see some beige coloured eggs here and there but I'm pretty sure they belong to my old Arabi. When will my Rhode Island Red start laying? My father actually thinks of getting rid of her together with the chosen cockerel in the Yom Kipur event.
Recently, I lost one of my chickens, Mariana. (she was a rir) I still don't know why, although I think it may be mareks? I don't have much experiance with diseases and such so i'm not too sure.
One day I went to check on her and she couldn't use her leg. The day before her leg was fine... it...
Back in April I bought 9 pullets from the Tractor Supply Store. But the more they grow I think I have 6 cockerels and 3 pullets. What do you guys think?
So I got four none pure breed Rhode Island reds form this woman a couple months ago and I need help sexing them. They're about four months old, two of them are two weeks younger.
I was told one of them is most likely a rooster but he looks pretty much the same as his twin sister. He does have a...
Long story Short; we got six chicks at the feed store about 4 months ago (3 EE “pullets” and 3 RIR straight run) and we ended up with 5 roosters and one hen
We are down to two cockerels now. We plan to keep one but we are watching their behavior since we removed the other three cockerels. We...
