Here's some pics of RIRs...

These 2 are Penny and Copper (I know, not very original but they are inseperable so Copper-Penny just works)

They are all very mellow girls that lay gorgeous, extra large, golden brown eggs for me almost every day! Love these girls!

Here are my newest Orpingtons (the yellow chicks are buff orps and the mottled colored are white orps)

And this is my dominant hen, Bertha

I should say dominant chicken period, cause Bertha keeps the whole flock in line, no matter what. Once 2 roos decided to have a serious fight. I mean they were really going at it! Bertha hollered at them with a sort of growl (strange sound from a chicken but it usually calms everyone down immediately) but they still kept it up. She then launched herself like a rocket between the 2 roos and yelled at them like I've never heard her yell before! She sounded so forceful I felt like she could take charge of the whole city if she took a mind to!

Those 2 roos instantly backed off looking scared to death of that fat BO! There is no doubt who rules my flock!

WOW, amazing pics. Haha now the hen is taking charge, funny story

thanks for sharing that

Mine are doing GREAT! Taking this kind of weather really good! Had to make paths in their cage so they can move around and get food and water.

Do you give them heat?
