rir chick

Our 2 silkies hatched 4 little RIR (rooster) x white leghorn chicks. I’m really excited to see what these babies will look like. The ACTUAL mamas refused to sit on their eggs. I heard something about hens genetics being messed with so they won’t sit on their eggs. Is that true? Post pictures of...

Once again, I have been affected by that terribly wonderous thing called chicken math. Here's how it's gone so far: 5 rescued BSL chicks -3 died in the night so I had 2 + 7 more chicks we bought a month later. Our total is (9) then + 4 more chicks 6mos later. New total (13). Lose -1 hen to sour...

I received this chick at 2-3 days old. I was told he/she is a Rhode Island Red and supposed to be female. I'm not sure. Now, 8 weeks later... this chick does not like to be held and definitely does not pose for photos, runs when I come near but will come to me and eat out of my hand... I don't...

Hatched 3 eggs from our Blue Orpington hens that had accidentally been with our Rhode Island Red rooster. When I tried to look up this pairing online I could not find a single photo of the chicks. (I only found RIR x Buff Orpington) So I thought I'd post a pic of the beautiful day old chicks for...

I have four chicks from this cross and I’m worried three are roosters, can anyone confirm by this image or is it too early to tell? They are very flighty too but often rush at each other. Any ideas? They are about 20 days old.

Rusty, the 10 week old probable Rhode island Red - hoping for brown eggs, but comb and wattles larger and redder than sleepy sister Goldie, and Rusty's tail HAD a downturn. Tail feathers uneven and not as round either. From Meyer Hatchery Brown layer Assortment. (Week 20 - BOTH are laying!)

Please help my chick 5 weeks old RIR chick. Thanks Elvis.

Hi Everyone! I’m a new chick mom- we brought home 5 babies last week, 2 Easter Eggers, 1 RIR, 1 Lavender Orpington and 1 Plymouth Rock. Got them all from a local hatchery where we were able to observe and hand pick them out. They are now just over a week old. They are growing well and have been...
