Hey hey hey newbies!

I have Rhode Island Reds and Bantams!!!!

Rhode Island Reds are a good, hardy, dependable, good laying breed. Just don't keep more than one rooster as the RIR roosters can be particularly aggressive. The recommended ratio in any breed of roosters is 1 rooster for every 10 hens, and with RIRs it's especially important not to exceed that ratio. Good luck with your flock.
