You should build two chickencoops, one for egg lying the other for retired hens, free range the retired hens for insect control, this works well for me, stink bugs don't stand a chance against hungry old hens eating everything they find. They are old, so if you lose a few to hawks, no big lose, so make sure they got an old rooster to protect them.

@BrianCarnevaleB26 8 месяцев назад

Exactly right & so well said. Stink bugs are taking over.

@beckytanner2345 Год назад

Sooooo interesting about the differences!

@tracyblack1509 Год назад

I have both. And in our extreme heat in Texas, they are doing fine. In addition, I have had no health issues with either breed.

@janeywelch9983 Год назад

I really love my BR for their personalities. My RIR aren’t fussy or spoiled but just don’t seem to get out and free range as much as the others.

I just got 4 Rhode Island reds for a backyard coop and was thinking of adding a couple barred rocks with them as I have the space and variety would be nice. Your video was helpful.

So glad!! Thanks for commenting!!

All good birds. To each his own. Barred work well for me. Extreme cold here in northern Saskatchewan. They come threw winter fine. Lay all winter. Some are broody and that's how I get replacements

@ronwest7930 Год назад

I've read stuff over the years about RR being aggressive, but the large darker brown eggs are appealing. The wide open spaces around your coup look like good hunting grounds for hawks.

@tannerfarmstead Год назад

We don’t have any issues with hawks but if we did I would get a guard goose or an LGD

Enjoyed your video and I like both breeds as well. Until they lay in the hay barn and can’t find the eggs.

@alanmcnutt6673 Год назад

We started out with a few hens of several different breeds. Including BR and RIR. We prefer our Barred Rocks due to their inquisitive demeanor and how smart they are. They quickly rose to the top of the pecking order as well. Due to this, we are moving towards a vast majority of BR, including our 7 month old rooster.

@tannerfarmstead Год назад

Very cool. Barred rocks are great birds as well

@CFarnwide Год назад

We just added some Barred Rocks to our flock today! My brother has kept them exclusively for quite a while and recommended them. Our other birds are Easter Eggers and Speckled Sussex. We are hoping the BR have the same temperament as the SS with eggs as big as the EE. Check out my short videos if you have a second to spare 😎

@waheedahmed7643 10 месяцев назад

@@CFarnwide so how did you find them after 6 months ? Are they worthy ?

@CFarnwide 10 месяцев назад

@@waheedahmed7643 absolutely worthy birds! We have been extremely pleased to be honest. Great and friendly personalities, not aggressive towards other birds, beautiful, curious, GREAT layers, and last but not least… masterful foragers. They also matured into laying quicker than any other breed we’ve had. I believe they started at 16 weeks 😎

@cornell833 Год назад

Great content bro

@tannerfarmstead Год назад

Thank you!!!

@SarahMatthews-wd9mq Год назад

I wasn't a fan of Hybrid crosses, but the Golden Comet is the only one I'll keep. I absolutely love their friendly demeaner. They lay all winter long and nearly every day. They might not be dual purpose, but you can use them to make chicken broth and bone broth. They are worth their weight in gold, in my opinion.

@thomaslamprogiorgos6258 Год назад

They can't utilize pasture, only heritage breeds can. They are designed to utilize only fully formulated layer feed. And they lay less and eat more than commercial white leghorns.

@BrianCarnevaleB26 8 месяцев назад

I grew up with R.I. Reds! They are such a hardy bird for the cold climes. Plus their temperament was very good. We NEVER butchered our birds as my Dad said they earned a full life cycle for feeding our small family for years!

@530eman 10 месяцев назад

We love our blue Sapphires; prolific layers, not flighty but also not dual purpose

@otracuentaperra4290 Год назад

Love them both and had them both but the RIR seems to be hardier in my experience , The males are awesome meat producers and the spent hens make a great stewing hen.

White rocks are the world's most balanced multi purpose breed. And I couldn't even think to compare the competitive and bully RIR to the legendary barred rocks. But, try white rocks.

Great content! How would you say the temperament of RIR roosters are vs barred rocks? I want my flock to have a brave rooster but I also have very young children that I don’t want to get attacked when we go outside to get eggs.

@tannerfarmstead Год назад

It’s hard to say I’ve had mean roosters that were both breeds. I think it’s hit or miss with roosters

@debbiependleton8507 Год назад

Thanks for the information. I'm new to the chicken world and learning quickly. Question: With Roosters, do you need to separate them into their own coops or can they be kept with the chicken hens? And how many Roosters per coop with the hens? Can the Roosters mingle or will they fight?

@tannerfarmstead 11 месяцев назад

You can keep the rooster with the flock. Our expulsion roosters is not a good one therefore we don’t have one. The ones we’ve had in past are mean and aggressive

@country_boy_zone6b Месяц назад

I like New Hampshire REDS , Australorps and Welsummers. you NHR will lay as well as a RIR but about a size bigger egg. Australorps will lay better in cold months if you have them and Welsummers, well what can i saw about the best egg laying chicken breed. Yes you sacrifice some eggs but wow they are beautiful, they are so mellow mine would follow me around when i would plant wait for a grub or treat thrown their way, even lay friendly! I really enjoy EASTER Eggers but they are a mixed bag , tho the Ameraucana sweetness does come through. Cackle seems to have the best production line of EE ive seen.

What hatchery do you purchase your chicks from? looks like they are extremely healthy and you take extremely good care of them. Many people mention that the Rhode Island Reds are somewhat aggressive and down right mean but you do not seem to have that problem. Interesting.
