Question...I have 2 slw and 2 RIR hens.
Can anyone tell which egg is a slw egg and which is a RIR egg. My hens are about 5 months old. Thanks.

My RIR are suppose to be production ones from McMurray but I'm pleased at how dark most are with two being the exception. And Brooster my cockerel is getting huge. He is almost 17 weeks and brick is the perfect way to describe him. Almost like a body builder Rooster.

Brooster is a gorgeous bird!

My money is on the right hand one being the RIR egg. I could be wrong though x

Considering there are two SLW AND 1 RIR, logic would tell me the RIR would be the most different of the 3 eggs. So logic would tell me you are correct.

Hi all, I'm looking for some answers about my RIR hens I have 2 and Ihave 3 Del's also 2 RIR roosters and they bet the star's out of the rir hens to the point that one will just hide in the woods she may have a nest in there.
I have since sseparated them, only one of them is laying. But now im not sure if it the short days,colder weather or what but now I'm lucky to get 2 eggs a day. What's up with that?
