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...
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...
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!
Some updated photos of our flock that includes their age and breed.
Thoughts on hen or rooster for our flock? We're pretty sure Bonbon is a rooster... We're not allowed roosters in the city we live in 😭
Thanks in advance!
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...
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...
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...
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...
We have two mating pairs of Moran Golden Ccmet Rhode Island Red mixes for sale.

Moran Rhode Island Red Rooster mixed with Golden Comet. The roosters come out Reddish Yellow, almost orange, and the hens are black bodies mixed with brown and Golden brown heads. Just gorgeous.
Hearty Birds too!
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...
hello! i got too eager and posted my question first before introducing myself. i’m a first time chicken mom of a rhode island red hen. she lives indoors with me since i live in the woods, so my neighbors have told me horror stories of their chickens and ducks being attacked by the wildlife. she...
hi everyone!
i’m a proud owner of a rhode island red hen. she’s my first chicken, as i’m only 21 years old. my girl is five months old, and i only own her because my older sister bought chickens and one was sick with a bad leg, so the others were picking on her. therefore, now i caretake for...
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.
I have 5 Rhode Island reds of 12 weeks old. I am not a chicken expert but i would like to know if I can see gender differences yet. They do not have combs or wattles yet. They all seem the same to me and don’t act very dominant or different from each other. I would appreciate if someone could...
Hey there! Currently we only have two hens, one RIR from McMurray that we raised ourselves and is almostttt 15 weeks I believe (shipped out week of June 3rd and I believe we got them that Thursday), and one that we were told was a 1.5 year old maran (I didn’t ask which kind and we’re newbies to...
This chick was hatched by one of my hens 5 1/2 weeks ago. I feel like the comb on Ruby/Reuben is larger and pinker than my older RIR pullet was at 5 1/2 weeks. But there are no wattles. Its posture is usually very low to the ground, very skittish and shy. I had to make an alarm call to get the...
