Rhode Island red chickens are my favorite. If you handle them when they are chicks they become really friendly. Mine would eat out of my hand and jump up on my lap for attention and special treats. They are one of the best layers also. They make great pets. Thank you for sharing. God Bless
You are right Sonya... a mixed flock and raising them together works out the best. Absolutely correct on free ranging as well. In fact I believe free range is very good for the overall health of chickens in general.
My 🐓 mean ass hell. Even as a chick he always was agressive. We honestly just let him be. My hen cool sometimes. You have to talk to her 1st. She reminds me of a mean auntie!
My Red, which is still too young to be sure if male or female, is probably the sweetest bird in my flock; which is saying something as all of them (mixed flock) are really nice. They all like to be held, but the Red loves it. Maybe the difference is in how they are raised? All of my birds were handled and interacted with multiple times a day and still are at about 12 weeks old.
That’s exactly how my RIR’s behave too. Rooster is fairly easy going as well. We have 25 eggs in the ‘bator right now going on about 5 days. All of my hens are awesome. They all lay fairly well. We’re getting 20-22 eggs per week out of 5 hens, which, in my experience is pretty good, esp. for a heritage breed. We also have 11 American Bresse in the chicken tractor right now at 7 weeks old, and we’re picking up 10 more from the Breeder on the first of July. We’ll be loaded down with chicks pretty soon. Lol! :-)
I have a Rhode island red also. She's my girl and I love her to death. She attacks all the other hens and is always making that whining noise. She's such a character.
I got 4 RIR, 4 Barred Rock, 6 Golden Comets, and 6 Buff Orpington chicks all the same day. The Comets and Buffs were sexed, but of the other 8, I only had 1 RIR turn out to be a rooster, and I only wanted one rooster, so that was lucky. Of the hens though, my Barred Rocks rule the roost. They all were handled a lot as chicks, and still are, and are people friendly, but none of them scream like that. Even my reds get along great with all the other birds, and one may be the best pet in the bunch, BUT THAT ROOSTER -- that SOB is going to be soup when I grow a replacement rooster this summer, Maybe a Buff x RIR cross (only because my eggs are all half RIR), or I may order some hatching eggs and swap 'em on a broody just to not have his gene -- he attacks everything, even my two 100ish lb Coon hounds, who would love to whip his azz if I let 'em, but they know better.
You are absolutely right about handling them when they are chicks. I had a big pet Rhode Island red rooster and he was a dog with feathers tame. He would jump up on my lap and crow while being petted. He was spoiled. Great pet .
my reds r no tea party! out of 6 that i bought as pullets i wound up w a rooster on accident! Bubba , who i cant part with , changed my whole life!! he looked like a hen! i know he loves me but he is a son of a bitch! i kept him, cause i love the fucker! and then i incubated his fertile eggs.(12 of them) 3 hatched. i wound up w 3 more roosters! damn!!!! my luck!!! purchased 6 golden comets from tractor supply to be with these babies only 2 weeks behind. now, my second flock consists of 6 comets, and 3 rir roosters! still not good! i chose 1 of them to b the boss, Cubby. Ranger is seperated cause he is gentle(a pussy) and a nice bird!(gonna breed him) kamikaze is a pain in the ass and i cant wait for him to either run away or have cubby tear his heart out/rip his face off/ do him a favor! i love them but this guy is a problem! im all fucked up w loving the animals too much! too many roosters!
I have 3 rhode island chickens and 1 silver wyandotte chicken,I tried to introduce them and my wyandotte chicken (Older chicken)tried to bite them!What do I do?
My only Rhode Island Red hen(she died last year by choking under a fence st night) didint look like a Rhode reds.. her chest was a creamy caramel colour and the top was a dark orange/brown/cream colour, but at the farm we brought her and her sister (a white chicken) all the others were just like the red girl and the sign said “Rhode island red 15 months”
Pretty chickens and healthy looking, mine are very docile too. Do this Rhode Islands incubate eggs for 21 days? I can't find this information anywhere.
+clarity023 www.sagehenfarmlodi.com/chooks/chooks.htmlHere is a great website with info on breeds and broodiness. Reds do not typically go broody. They are more for laying large brown eggs.
I have one rooster and one hen they're about 12 months old now but the thing is hen is not mating with rooster. Though the rooster is trying hard to mate and trying to catch her but she is shooting and running away . The rooster attempted to mate so many times that the hair behind the hen's head are totally gone now. Plz any one suggest me how to make them mate. I have already kept them in small cage to be closer to each other.
Hello Skgibson. Best to ask local chicken friends for a recommendation, who are happy with their birds, for recommended local breeders. I personally feel you can't go wrong with Murray McMurray if you want to order online, they are also great as sexing birds. I have my first order from Ideal, and so far I'm happy, want to see how their personality comes out as adults still. They seem to make sure you get your 10% of roosters however I must say, so be prepared for that. Best wishes.. Chickens are delightful pets/ animals.
I prefer Murray McMurray for a hatchery order, after that, look for a backyard breeder that does not take in and re-sell birds as they could spread diseases.. Ask about biosecurity, they should have at least a reasonable plan such as not taking in other birds, and not letting buyers walk around the property without "clean" shoes..
I have 4 at 15 weeks...they come to greet me when I come with food...but are easily scared. I call them my scardey chickies...talk like crazy when I try to get them like " help, she's touching me!!" Let alone pick them up!! Lol, but their my girlies.. I put a little pool with bricks in their run for hot days..I don't think they like it😒 there does seem to be one that a loner...not sure if they pick on her or not
I laughed so hard while eating a piece of meat just went from my esophagus and through out of my nose lmfao Whats up with that broody RIR mine don't do that at all. To be honest none of my chickens have ever gotten that aggressive.
Really mine with trying pecking the shit out of my hand. I laugh at them and continue to take their eggs. Then i get yelled at. Such characters this breed
Hi how’s it going! We have one 4 week old Rhode Island Red and we’re worried she’s a rooster because she already has a crown and gullets. Just to be sure are all these seen in the video female? It’s hard to sex them this early on. Let me know, I appreciate your feedback!
The place we're ordering from, makes us order 9 chickens, because of winter. So we're ordering 6 Rhode island reds, 2 silver w. And 1 brahma, so we wanted to see what they were like. You think they will pick on the other chickens???? I'm sure they won't pick on the brahma though, they're HUGE 😂😂😂
Sonya Schaffer Oh, thank you very much. I have two Rhode isl reds and they look like your hens only they seem to be starting to grow longer tail feathers. Mine are 3-4 months old and haven't crowed yet, so maybe they are hens.
Junior to Foghorn Leghorn:"Your'e a fricassean chicken. Leghorn "I say say I am not". Junior:"Have you ever seen a fricassen chicken? Then you're a shmuck.
The yellow on hens fades in a good laying hen on the legs and vent area. It's one way you can tell who is laying, look for bleaching on legs and vent with young and old hens.

Amen Jeff.
How you raise them ilove them.

That's funny when they scream. Mine does the same
You have a beautiful voice. Very easy to listen to 😊
My 🐓 mean ass hell. Even as a chick he always was agressive. We honestly just let him be. My hen cool sometimes. You have to talk to her 1st. She reminds me of a mean auntie!

I looove those hawk alarms in the background, lol.
They are so lovely.

dami chicken

I love my RIR's. They are great layers.
The Dominiques the friendliest and most versatile layer!They aren't bossy like the RIR!
I saw you from Homesteading with Sadie. I love my 2 RI Reds. Named mine Tweety and the other one Penelope.
That’s exactly how my RIR’s behave too. Rooster is fairly easy going as well. We have 25 eggs in the ‘bator right now going on about 5 days. All of my hens are awesome. They all lay fairly well.

You have pretty hands! 😍
I have two RIR one Barred Rock and a Buff Orpington which are around 7-8 weeks old. I named the Reds Thelma and Louise 🤣
Did they jump off a cliff in a car?
Chicken said - get away from me
Love my Rhodes
My Reds are named Ava, Harriet, and Penny Pepper
They got their own personalities for sure.
They sound like velociraptors or pteranodons!
chickens evolved from dinos.
You have beautiful rhode island i have to
I handle my rhode islands as chicks and they are much nicer as adults
You are absolutely right about handling them when they are chicks. I had a big pet Rhode Island red rooster and he was a dog with feathers tame. He would jump up on my lap and crow while being petted. He was spoiled. Great pet .

I have 3 rhode island chickens and 1 silver wyandotte chicken,I tried to introduce them and my wyandotte chicken (Older chicken)tried to bite them!What do I do?
Do males and females both have those mo hawks?
My rhode island red chicken called Amber is very brave hen, she lays eggs almost everyday.
RHODE ISLAND RED!? OH, I LIKE THEM! I'll have a Rhode Island Red for me, alright? Two of em!
How do ik if they trying to hatch eggs ??
Thank you for your honesty, I’ll skip this kind. Thanks.

Do Rhode Island Reds fly at all? I have a tree coup so my chickens need to fly up into it.
Hi Sonya Im a new Sub, Im thinking about getting some chickens do you have any info on breeders?

Ask about biosecurity, they should have at least a reasonable plan such as not taking in other birds, and not letting buyers walk around the property without "clean" shoes..
Why do they make that noise at 0:05 ??
RIR, Breed are mahogany, yellow feet, black tip tail, etc etc
I have 4 at 15 weeks...they come to greet me when I come with food...but are easily scared. I call them my scardey chickies...talk like crazy when I try to get them like " help, she's touching me!!" Let alone pick them up!! Lol, but their my girlies..

At 4 weeks, rooster. Hens don't develop large red comb until they lay. See my bantam chicken hen a bass roo video.
I have ISA brown hens
W.O.W.

Those should be fine I think. Especially if raised up together.
What hatchery do you get these from?
Murray MC Murray
Ah my friend recommended that place thanks Sonya Schaffer
I was watching your video with my Rhode Island Red rooster on the computer desk next to me and he started crowing at the broody hen noises lol!
Which red is rooster ?
ARBOGAJIM All Hens, no roosters...
Sonya Schaffer Oh, thank you very much. I have two Rhode isl reds and they look like your hens only they seem to be starting to grow longer tail feathers. Mine are 3-4 months old and haven't crowed yet, so maybe they are hens.
ARBOGAJIM Free Rhode isl roosters.
Do you have eggs for sale
thats not a rhode island red though... thats a red production chicken
is it necessary to give them vaccines?
Personal preference really.. That is an entire can of worms, you will get folks hard core from both sides.. I'm more pro-vaccine myself.
The hatchery we got our girls from vaccinate before you get them.
It's for India, Assam
Wow I thought my production red was a screamy little thing, these put her to shame!
😂
i have 2 rhodes and 1 was layung eggs and has stopped, why could this be there diet is good.
shubz they stop laying one month a year to molt new feathers.
Junior to Foghorn Leghorn:"Your'e a fricassean chicken. Leghorn "I say say I am not". Junior:"Have you ever seen a fricassen chicken? Then you're a shmuck.
I thought pure breed RIRs have yellow legs
The yellow on hens fades in a good laying hen on the legs and vent area. It's one way you can tell who is laying, look for bleaching on legs and vent with young and old hens.
I got 90 odd chicks half are dead
thay abused these chickens on the devels rejects
They are too light to be Rhode Island Red...a crossed
I think your right
