So I found out that the feed store isn't going to sell the Red Rangers this year unless it's special order, something I can't afford. I decided to go with the Rhode Island Red instead. I know there are better breeds for meat but this is the only breed I feel comfortable butchering. The feed...
I met an older woman at the feed store and she spent an hour telling me all the things I should ever need to know about homesteading. She said to breed a RIR with another bird to create the best meat birds, but after an hour of talking with her I completely forgot what breed she suggested. 😕...
Hi guys we now have a 100% confirmation on our baby being a roo. Today I was out looking at them and wondering when my Rhode Island Red butternut came up and crowed near me😂
I also noticed he had pointy neck feathers and feathers going over his tale so now all we have to do is take him to the zoo😁.
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)

I have 4 approximately 8-week-old hens, but I want to know when my hens will start laying eggs. Please also keep in mind my hens are Rhode Island Red hens. Thanks for your precious time!
I have 10 hens, and they’re about 7 months old. I was getting eggs from just about all of them daily, and for the last few days they’ve all just stopped laying. I’ve gotten about four eggs total in the last four days. It’s definitely getting colder here, could that be the reason, or is it...
Decided to go ahead and post my flock :)
