    My Sapphire Gem and Rhode Island Red Adventure

    Here's my 10 babies. They're about 7 weeks old now. 6 of them were sold as Sapphire Gem and 4 were sold as Rhode Island Reds. All 10 were supposed to be pullets, but we know how that goes. I have a sneaking suspicion one of my RIR may be a roo. Seems to be the last to grow feathers out and had...

    Updated Photos (Again!): Hens or Roosters?

    We are back from our honeymoon and it looks like our birds have already grown so much in just a few days! Also, we added a few new friends to the flock! We're feeling like Cotton might be a rooster (so hard at a young age, especially for silkies as we're learning) but there appears to be a V...

    Rhode Island Red Rooster Temperaments

    Hi! In my last order I received a cockerel on accident. I was not planning on getting one originally as I've got two roosters already and 18 hens now. However, he is starting to grow on me and I was wondering how RIR rooster temperaments generally are. Obviously I do know that temperaments do...

    RIR Rooster?

    Is this rhode island red a rooster? Got them from Tractor Supply and they said they were sexed females. But someone mentioned it looked like a rooster. Roughly 3.5 months old. Can take more pictures if needed! Thank you!

    Exhibition Rhode Island Red Pricing

    Ok, so I am interested in getting quality RIRs, and I have a friend who knows a breeder, but I was wondering what the price differences were. I know they are more expensive than a farm store (like TSC or Rural King) bird, but how much of a price difference? I was thinking about $25 per bird, is...

    Is it too early to know gender?

    After losing my previous flock to a hawk around three years ago I finally was able to get new chicks and a new coop. They’re supposed to be a Dominque and a Rhode Island Red and I hope they’re both girls or that only one is a boy as I only need one rooster I got them around a week or so ago at...

    Two nice young roosters in desperate need of rehoming (We can bring them to you)

    Hello, my girlfriend and I have kept chickens for quite a while, but I'm a federal worker and now that I am back in the office full time we are looking to move closer to my work but are unable to do anything until we can find a home for our roosters. We have already found good homes for our hens...

    Is this a Rhode Island Red?

    Long story short, we ended up having to put our Western Rustics (meat bird, straight run) in with our Rhode Island Reds (sexed, supposedly.) At the time, we weren't* able to band them and for their safety, we couldn't wait. We're trying to separate them out again because there's definitely some...

    Anyone who knows more than I do??

    I got 6 fertile eggs from chick and egg, out of those 5 ended up hatching and 2 are obvious roosters. Before hatching them, I thought that chick and egg's rooster return service would be for anyone and that it's a guaranteed thing for me to rely on. However I've realised that they're in Auckland...

    What is this?

    My chicken has a swollen hard spot on her breast and under wing, and when I checked it, there was a big black splotch. She is tripping because of it when she walks. What is it? My theory is frostbite, but I'm not sure. Thanks.
