    Egg color… speckled?!

    Hello! I have two Rhode Island reds, not quite a year old. They started laying in early December and they are doing great, free range walks with my old lady hen. They of course lay brown eggs, and Ive found it interesting that one lays a darker brown than the other. Often, the lighter brown...

    Rooster with three hens?

    Hi! I have three three year old Rhode Island Red hens and I recently fell in love with a rooster that was free to take home at a fair.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme and Dill. Dill died almost right away. I have no idea why. Almost 10 weeks later now and...

    Chicken crowing... also what breeds are these?

    Hello all! I’m relatively new to raising chickens and I initially bought 6 “Rhode Island reds” from a shady shop here in San Diego. He said they were a little over a week old when I bought them, and now we’ve had them for 12 weeks, so I’m guessing the big ones are around 13-14 weeks now. The...

    Chicken breeds

    I have a thai rooster and some of my hens, for example, are Rhode Island Reds and Blue Orpingtons. I was wondering if it was possible to breed them? If so, does anybody know an example outcome?
