RIR or BR

[The Breaker]

I want to now whate is the best cold hardy hen BR or RIR.

 

[CMV]

They are equally cold hardy. I like the BRs better because they deal with confinement better than RIRs, so when there is a ton of snow they handle being closed up inside better.

Good luck.

 

[Fred's Hens]

I have them both. Both cold hardy, with a very slight nod toward the BR. My RIRs are mouthy. I do not know if this is typical.

I have both and love both breeds, but my RIR's lay more eggs.
