Having my first reds this year makes it easy to understand their popularity. They’re beautiful birds and reliable, consistent layers. They are commonly on a nest before sunrise.
I have four RIR hens. They are wonderful egg layers and great pets. They are very hardy and so far are tolerating the high altitude winter here in New Mexico.
Great info and channel....where do you purchase your chicks from? I just subscribed. The reason that I was asking is because many people say that Rhode Island Reds are very mean and others say they are quite friendly. Thanks.
Thank you! We got ours from a local supplier. Honestly, our RIRs are friendly enough with people. I'd put them as middle of the road. They tolerate us and they aren't mean. However, one of our Reds does like to assert her dominance over our Easter Egger. She isn't overly aggressive but she will chase her off and give her a peck here and there. But it doesn't go beyond normal pecking order dynamics. Our Wyandotte is the queen of the coop but if she goes first I imagine that particular Red will take over being in charge.
@@sacredlysimple Ok...sounds great. Murray Macmurray comments from their customers give the Rhode island reds 4.5-4.8 stars out of 5. Their customers state they are extremely nice and friendly...even the roosters. Other customers from other hatcheries state they are quite mean. I have been around Reds and I never thought they were mean at all. Thanks for the info.
My first attempt at raising chicks was RiR...I am in Alaska and they are a super hearty breed! Great video!
They are great. Your cabin is coming along nicely, btw!

They are definitely good layers!
