    Rhode Island Red, Hen or Rooster?

    Hi everyone! I’m new to BYC and to chickens. In May I got 6 Rhode Island reds, and I’m wondering if these two are hens or roosters? They are both 16 weeks old The first three are one chicken and the last two are another. I’m open to any suggestions because I’m not really sure. Thanks for helping!

    Opinions on gender please! Kinda guessing on breed as well...

    I purchased three random grab-bag day old chicks to put under a broody hen that I had. One of them looks like your typical Easter egger, the other two are kind of a mystery to me. I contacted their breeder and she said they found out a couple of weeks ago that their chicks had more genetic...

    Rhode Island Red Rooster crossed back with sex-link hen??

    Hello, I am wondering what will happen if I cross my RIR rooster back with some of my sex link hens. Will the hens that come out, lay just as big eggs or will they not lay very much at all.

    Almost 20 weeks, no eggs.

    Hello everyone, I have eight RIR hens who will be 20 weeks this Thursday (08/27) and no sign of any eggs yet. No shell-less ones or small weird ones. I believe I’m giving them/doing everything they need to lay. In your experience when did your RIR hens start to lay? Any tips or...

    My hens won't eat Flock Party Crickets anymore

    Thought they were RIR, now I'm not sure

    I thought Big Red and Penny were RIRs but they have white on their backs and face and black in their tail feathers. Sid is darker and a richer, solid red color. Could they still be RIRs or are they something else? Big Red and Penny are around 11 weeks old Sid is around 9 weeks old Got them all...

    Are these all pullets?

    I have two Rhode Island Reds and two Leghorns, they are all 62 days old now (9 weeks old tomorrow) I’m hoping all are pullets. The two Rhode Island Reds don’t have as broad of a tail as the Leghorns. But, the Leghorns have larger combs. The Leghorns have broad, well-rounded tails, yellow combs...

    Not sure what’s wrong — dehydration? Parasites?

    Hi, My 5 month old RIR has not been herself the last few hours. I went to let my chickens out of their run and everyone excitedly ran out. She did not, which is very unusual. She eventually slowly walked out toward the others. She kept stopping and standing still for lengths of time. High was...
