ANYONE have some pics??

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)

Here is Merlot

And this is Cab

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!

GREAT PHOTOS!
Thank You!

Introducing My Baby Bugaaawks ...

I also have a Question about RIR's wing schematic.
Little Rhode Island Red Riding Hood's wings are an asstd. color design.
Is this normal for a RIR or is she "unpure"? < ;o)~

Got her at the Feed store so she's a hatchery hen, but still...shouldn't she be a copper penny color?

Go to uploads, a new window will open, click on browse then go to the file where you stored your photo on your computer then click on the photo and then click open. That should take to back to the upload window where you click submit. It takes a while so don't hit submit again. Once it's uploaded highlight the entire URL below the pic (for image, not thumb) hit "ctrl c" (for copy) then go to the post you are writing and, after positioning the curser where you want the picture to be, hit "ctrl v" (for paste). You can hit preview to be sure it posted correctly.
Good luck!

I love our BO, she is definitely one of my favorites! She has the best personality, and is very curious. She follows me around the yard supervising all my yard work activities. She lays very well, and has a tannish colored egg. He best friend is one of our Australorps, also very good layers. The two are inseparable, but Sunny the BO is always leading the way! She is also my son's favorite chicken, and I hope we have her for a very long time. When we are ready to get a few new chickens, we will probably go with some BO's.

Thank You Golden Feather!

I figured it out.

thinking maybe my RIR is a mutation...

My RIRs didn't start to feather out as red either. Don't remember how long it took for the dark feathers to come in. Still they seemed darker than yours. That one may be a sex-link which can be a mix of Rhode Island varieties. Time will tell. Both varieties are great layers though!

Here is a picture of my two RIR hens and one of my BO hens, who is also named Bertha.

Our two BO hens are named Big Bertha and Large Marge. They are my biggest girls and they lay the biggest eggs!
