    My story: Chicks for the first time

    My dad and I went to tractor supply earlier this year. We don't have a coop built or started, and we don't have any supplies either. The only thing we had was a plastic tub for a brooder box. He decided time to get everything for chicks and the chicks. Inside Tractor Supply we grab what we need...

    Cockerel or Pullet?

    Excuse me if I post incorrectly or cannot figure out how to include the picture. I am just wanting opinions on my RIRs. I have 2 that are 3.5 months old. They are the same age look very different. I would have sworn one is a cockerel until I looked at pictures of others on BYC. The other RIR is...

    My Rhode Island Red babies

    They are 11wks old! I'm so proud of myself that they are doing so good! Do I worry a bit much sometimes? Yeah, I do... These are my first babies. All I want is for them to keep growing bigger and stronger every day.

    11wk old Rhode Island Red babies

    I've seen them once go into their coop on their own... Today I went to check their water, and found them with their mouths hanging open. They have some shade in the run, they have water, and they have an open coop. Why won't they use the coop? They have had an actual coop door for over a week...

    Rhode Island Red gender?

    Hello! I posted these two before but they were a little young still. Here they are at 6 weeks. I’m thinking the first one is a cockerel and the second is a pullet, but just looking for second options. Thanks!

    Difference in breed or personality?

    My first chicks were Rhode Island Reds, and they were super active little ones. They seem to go until they dropped; then they would rest for a while. Never were very flighty, but learned to roost over time. When my Rhode Island Reds got about 5wks old; I got the chicka baby bug again. Didn't...

    Raising Floridian Chickens

    My 9wk old Rhode Island Red babies have a sandbox more or less for a run. I live in sunny Florida, and my yard is some version sand dirt. Even here central Florida it's a sand pit, and I'm not complaining I'm just saying. Since my Rhode Island Red babies were big enough to do some real...

    Pallet made Coop

    So last week my Rhode Island Red babies turned 8wks old. Along side my dad, we built a coop out of pallets, and the walls were made of 4 large pallets. We left a few boards on the inside of the coop because we never thought any of them would try to roost there. I mean these boards are too close...

    9wk old Rhode Island Red chicka babies

    In the last few days or so my Rhode Island Red babies seems more interested in the grass. I got them in their coop at night, but their run isn't finished just yet. They are still small enough for their outside pen on the grass, so I put them in it every day like I normally do. Here recently they...

    Rhode Island Reds Hens or Rooster?

    These are my 4 Rhode Island Red babies at 8 1/2 weeks old. What do I have? Hens? Roosters? I'm not sure.... They were a bit wiggly some of them. Camera shy, I guess... Lol

    Rhode Island Reds...Rooster AND Hen?

    As far as we know, they are the same age. Bought at the same time from a local breeder. They look SO different, we believe we have one of each! So please tell me...is it true? Do we have a future Hen, and maybe a Roo?!
