One of my little BO's. I have 5 of them and they are about 10 weeks old. I enjoy sitting out with them and watching them eat treats. They have recently discovered cantaloup guts and watermelon pieces.

This is my younger BO and RIR mix. [We don't know for sure if she's a mix of them yet]
(This pic wasn't taken recently, I'll try getting one today

NICOLE!

I would think a BO/RIR cross would have more red feathers on it (just my guess though, I have absolutely no experience breeding or hatching chickens)

Hey LittleChickenLady.... my newest BO and Butterscotch are getting along! I saw them laying down by each other today!

Hi everyone! Just found this thread and very new to chickens. I have 4 BO chicks and 1 BO/RIR. My question to you is if a BO is mixed with a RIR does that make it a NH??? Someone just told me that at the feed store and I can't seem to find out if what she said is true. Does anyone know if she was right? I think that one is a roo, but so very sweet. You all have beautiful chickens!

One day I will have some RIR and maybe some Buff in there for a splash of color. I am a fan of colorful flocks.
