it seems there is hardly any fans of the rhode island red on here

[jonbanks]

why is that? there is almost no info on the rir on this site

I like RIR. I have 12 of them. They seem pretty mild breed, unlike my dominiques which are real shy and skittish.

We have one RIR! She's sweet and my most "talkative" of the group.

I have more RIR than anything else... I'm a BIG fan! I guess I don't talk about them much because they are pretty average (compared to my freakish polish crested monster-roo or my sweet little sultan girl) but there are sure a lot of us on this board that have plenty of info on them. If you need info, just ask - I bet there are many who'd love to share.

Edited to add: Oh, and WELCOME to BYC!

I love my 4 RiR's. Of my heavy breed chickens, one of the rir were the first to lay me an egg

I have mostly RIR's too and I love them. They're very calm, good girls.
