Just thought I'd give you my experience (all 7 weeks of it!) with RIRs. I have two RIRs and five black australorps.

Compared to the BAs, my RIRs are skittish...slow to venture out when I open the run door to let them free range, and very jumpy. It makes them a little less friendly on the one hand, but rather more entertaining on the other

And they're certainly not UNfriendly...it's just that right as they get close enough to be friendly, they'll get spooked by something terrifying like a leaf falling from a tree

Are your reds RIR or Production Reds? They look just like our girls!
