Rhode Island Red hen or roo?

How feathered are they? Are they already off heat??

They've been off heat for a week and a half. The days have been 80+ and nights about low 60s. When they were inside it was about 78°

They should be fine then!! Especially if they’ve already been off heat for a while like they have. They look pretty feathered.

Thank you so much!
Also we shut the door on the coop (in the first picture to the right) bc the wind is strong today and they've hung out in there. Thankfully after two days of being in the coop they learned by 8pm that it's time for bed lol and when it rains to go up there

No problem and aw I’m sure they know now! Aha

And the coop looks great. I love the little garden on it!

But just as a heads up, you might need to expand it a bit when they get bigger since it might get a little crowded. But it looks great

These are my RIR babies...7 weeks old tomorrow. I think yours are definitely younger than advertised. Nice to see someone else with this breed, I mainly see more of the fancy breeds on this forum

Aww they are so cute! Ya i agree I dont see many RIR on here. I'm thinking mine are definitely younger. Five and a half weeks is with them being "days" old when we got them, so I'm definitely guessing

But they made it overnight in the cooler temps! Coop was 62 this morning.
Are your RIR outside all the time?

Updated pictures at 7 weeks old. Hens or roosters?!
