OMG, the squat! I have asked about that and no one knew what I was talking about... Are you talking about when you get close to them, they poof out the wings a little, and squat really still and let you pet them all over. And if you pet the tail area, they stick their butt in the air???? Please tell me, is this what you are referring to and does that mean they are ready to mate and or lay eggs??? wonderful thank you jennifer

yes.​

I think it's a Rhode Island Red (RIR). I have five of them and they are that chestnut color. Beautiful birds.

My avatar has three of them on it, but they are not as dark as the other two (different breeders). I will try and take a pic of the darker hens and then try to figure out how to post them!

It's not a RIR. The coloring is Pencilled not Red Columbian.
