    Sexing help for our new, little flock. 2 months old - 4 breeds.

    I am looking for some help with determining if we have any roos among our little flock. We purchased our 5 chicks from a local farm store, trying to get 5 hens.

    Hello from Tamil Nadu, India

    I am new here. I’m enjoying some information here. I am having our own South Indian Breed Siruvedai in my back yard. I came across BYC in search for information about Rhode Island Red as I am interested to add to my back yard. But still no clues from where to buy in India.

    Hey everyone. This is my relatively old Rhode Island Red hen. (We think she's 2-3) Just today I've noticed a dark, small spot on her foot.

    15 week old Rhode Island Red

    Looking pretty cocky to me... what do the eggsperts say? Slightly smaller bodied than my other RIR, not aggressive at all, very talkative.
