I know this has to be normal, I've just never seen it.
We adopted two Rhode Island Reds this weekend, to add to our very eclectic flock of 13 hens. They're our first RIRs, so I'm new to this breed.
Because they're molting, we couldn't help but notice their rumps. They are bright red. We've been calling them baboons all day. I've tried searching for this trait for this breed, but nothing comes up. For those with RIRs: Is this normal for the breed?
Thanks!
