RIR??

[Dixiedoodle]

I would love to have you tell me about your RIRs? Are they true RIRs or are the Production Reds? My dh agreed that I should have chickens, he agreed to build me a great coop WITH the agreement that --along with my Barred Rocks, Ameraucanas, Marans-- I would have a couple of RIRs for him (he grew up with these big, fat, dark red, sweet hens and that's what he wants now).. He had mentioned he was a roo also--but I vetoed that because I have heard nasty things about the roos... Several people have advertized that they had RIRs and when questioned they said well they were production reds--much better, nicer etc etc.. BUT dh wants RIRs--So, is there a big difference? Thank you for all the information you can share...Dixie

There have been several really good discussions lately on the very subject. If you go to search on the blue bar and type in RIR if will bring up lots of talk. I am trying to post one of the threads for you. Hope this works
