Rhode Island Red Thread!

[Alaskan]

There is a heritage rhode island red thread on this site.

They act like totally different breeds. Interesting really. The heritage are much slower to come into lay and also a much darker red.

Check out the thread that is dedicated to them, and read through it. Several of the people on that thread also breed.

That is not an rir. It look like a poorly laced gold laced Wyandotte. And it looks to be a cockerel

About how tall and big does the average RIR get? I have two and we are trying to revamp an old chicken tractor that does not have any roosting/laying areas. I want to be sure I don't make their areas too small.
