    Different Chicken Egg Colour: Is This Healthy and Normal?

    My RIRs usually produce a nice reddish brown colour. But today I collected the eggs and found a really dull coloured egg. It’s still the same size as normal. I’m hoping that my RIR is healthy. Does egg colour difference mean they may be unhealthy?

    Hello! My 8 month RIR pullet Mahalia has been walking around today with her beak slightly open. I picked her up and listened to her breathing, and it sounded wet, wheezy, and a little rattly on the deeper breaths. Her nostrils had a little bit of clear liquid around them. My son remarked that...

    8-9 week RIR - sexing help!

    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...
