Hello from Long Island, buying chic in spring thinking about RIR and red stars .any suggestions, we have 1 acre so property is no issue for coop. Thank You and have a great evening
Welcome to BYC. I'm glad you decided to join our flock. Red Stars (Red Sex Links) are egg laying machines. I've raised them for years (along with dozens of other breeds and hybrids, including RIRs), and the Red Stars, along with my Black Stars (Black Sex Links) have been my best layers, consistently churning out more than 300 eggs per hen per year. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck in getting your flock.
