I want to say that I love my RIR's and I have exhibition birds not hatchery. My rooster is the nicest bird, though for some odd reason, he is bald on both sides of his neck, maybe the hens are getting fresh with him? Anyway, he would not come after me at all, which is a good thing, seeing he is so large, however, I do find the hens are very cannibalistic, I used to have two roos until one turned out dead and partially eaten one day.
I have both rose comb and single comb, my rooster is rose, due to the weather I did not want single combed, and this year out of 12 chicks I got 1/2 single and half rose. Want to increase my flock some.
