    Is this cypress bark making our hens sick?? 1 hen with respiratory illness, 1 hen vomiting (maybe from the heat wave?)

    On 6/25, we added this cypress bark mulch blend to our chicken's run. It seemed like a great choice, but with the issues our flock has experienced shortly after adding it, I'm worried that the "blend" part may have something bad in it. On 6/27, I checked on the hens to find Beaux (Ameraucana)...

    Rhode Island Red. The last to lay her eggs, she had been developing a quiet, protective disposition. Not outgoing but able to be dominated and picked up to be looked after. She endured grandchildren well. Told the dogs what for.

    4 week old chicks

    I know it’s early but I like to keep guessing We have chickens already but got them as laying hens. So this is our first time with chicks. We have 6. They were sexed with 90% accuracy so I am always expecting at least 1 to be a roo. I have 2 that I am suspicious of Rhode Island Red Buff orpington

    Anyone have hatching eggs?

    Hey everyone! I used to be a big fan of this thread when I had chickens years ago. It’s been a busy few years which resulted in me selling everything I had. Well, I’m back in the feather business I guess you would say. Anyways, it’s good to be back with fellow chicken members again. I just...

    Hen or Rooster?

    Got 5 straight run RIR chicks! They are about 5 almost 6 weeks old. Wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out which ones are male vs female. They have colored bands on their legs and one has no band. So far I believe purple is a rooster and green is a hen. Thanks!

    What Kind of Chicken is Geraldine?

    I I got her and 5 other chickens from a friend. She said they were all Rhode Island Reds. I am finding out RIR usually have orange legs/feet. Geraldine and 2 of her sisters do not. Their feet are yellow with black. I am curious if there is a way to know what she may be mixed with? She is a...

    We are trying to get our next gen of layer hens so in addition to buying chicks we are trying to hatch some from our own. We do this all the time and will be fine with whatever mutts they turn out to be but I’m confused on how the genetics work of it all… We have a Sapphire gem rooster in with -...

    Roos or pullets?

    Hello was just curious what everyone’s opinion was on my chicks. They are 4 weeks old so I know it is still pretty early to tell if they are roos but they are very aggressive towards each other. We think we might have three roos. Two of them are Rhode Island Reds and the other one is an...

    River Valley Arkansas Chicken Momma

    Hello, My name is Michelle. I grew up with chickens, but that was over 40 years ago, and I'm excited to be able to have chickens again. When I was growing up, a chicken was a chicken and most people had Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. We had a few of those black Bantam's and those were my...

    Rhode Island Red

    My question is, Can you breed regular stock RIR so much that you get darker RIR? Or will I have to buy a darker rooster every other generation to get darker? Any help is very much appreciated!!

    I bought 10 straight run buckeye chicks from TSC about a year ago. I only have 2 roosters left. One looks like a buckeye, and one looks a bit like a Rhode Island Red with rose comb?? I have Rhode Island Reds and they have straight combs. I've not had any that where rose comb. Does anyone think...

    What breed is this?

    I got chicks back in September from Ace and was supposed to have gotten two cream legbars. They looked identical as chicks, so much so that I couldn’t tell them apart, but as the two pullets grew they started to look significantly different. They’re about 6 months now and neither have laid their...

    Chickens will be at -10 F Tonight

    So far the coldest we've been here in Western Massachusetts with our two 3-year old Rhode Island reds is into the single digits, and they've done just fine in their coop, which does indeed feel warmer than outside. However, tomorrow night is supposed to get down to -10F and I worry it will be...
