Hi! In my last order I received a cockerel on accident. I was not planning on getting one originally as I've got two roosters already and 18 hens now. However, he is starting to grow on me and I was wondering how RIR rooster temperaments generally are.
Obviously I do know that temperaments do...
Hi. I have a great RIR cockerel looking for a new home. I’m not sure if he’s purebred as he was purchased as a chick from a local farm stand. To my untrained eye though he looks right. He’s never been aggressive towards people, nor is he afraid of me. He was was the top bird in my small flock...
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...
Hi everyone👋 New member, this is my first post on here. Received 5 RIR pullets by mail and they all have matured at slightly different rates. In 3 days they will be 17 weeks old. One of them has been dominant since day 3 of its little life and was the fastest grower, biggest legs etc. Then...
Don't DM me telling me it's "normal" for Mr Delaware to be raping my 17wk old egg girls - he has to go asap before he gets himself shot.
He's beautiful, he's a great rooster. I really wanted to keep him. He only crows once a day, then shuts up. He's very friendly, comes when you whistle, and...
This is my first time with roosters. My RIR rooster is around 4 months old. His comb was sitting straight the other day but the front part is a bit flopped. We are in summer and he’s been eating and drinking and crowing as usual: could it be the heat? Or just him still growing?
Pic of his comb...
My chicks are about 4-5 weeks old. One whom I have a feeling is a roo. He has been making movements like trying to crow. Do they practice crowing before they can actually make the sound? This is my first roo.
First time chicken owner & first time posting here! I have 7-8 week old RIRs (hopefully pullets) that I got at TSC in August. I am starting to be unable to tell them apart, but I have noticed their combs are getting much bigger & pinker (on some). Can you help me figure out if any are fellas...
I bought 8 RIR pullets from TSC back at the end of March. So far, 6 have solid combs and a few even have the dark/glossy curved tail feathers coming in. I’m *hoping* that I really don’t have 6 roosters out of this batch, but based on reading previous threads, I’m worried it’s true. The two in...
Hi friend's,
I am having one RIR Cockerel & Aseel pullet, would like to know is there any possibility to get pure RIR if I crossbreed both.
Thanks
Elvis.
Looking for people close to me to do future swaps with and whatnot. Right now I have an extra RIR Cockerel (Guessing around 4 months of age) I recently aquired. I bought some birds and got two RIR cockerels and only need to keep one, I would be willing to trade him to any hen/pullet thats a...
