Rhode Island Red Rooster and Hen, Free Ranging Chickens producing Brown Eggs 

I have a pet Rhode island red rooster, he's awesome and friendly. Plan on getting him few hens next week. He checks the mailbox with me everyday. Mr nugget 😆

Look how he stands guard when she goes to lay an egg! Too cute!

We found a RIR rooster chick while walking the neighborhood when I was living with my parents about 10 years ago. Not knowing what it was, we took it in and raised it. We kept it inside until it was fully grown. He was mean to everyone but me, even as an adult rooster i'd sit him in my lap and scratch his head and he would fall asleep or just sit and hang out. Everyone else he would claw or peck hard! We named him turk turk. He loved to chase our laser pointer like a cat (we had 2 cats) and peck at it. I know they aren't normally pets, but he was my buddy. He didn't even crow when he was full grown until my brother played a sound clip of a rooster crowing, then he did it non stop lol. Looking back, I feel really bad about not having other roosters or hens for him to interact with.

Lol our Road Island Red rooster is very protective of our hens, if you go near the hens he will keep an eye on you to make sure ur not hurting them or something like that, we named him Fred and he's a pretty chill rooster for the most part until you mess with his hens 😂.

Takes me back.... Beautiful rooster. Looks just like the one I had when I was a kid. I spoiled him rotten. I carried him around like a cat or a puppy all the time.He would eat from my hand. He would see me and come running and lay down for me to pick him up. Everyone couldn't believe how tame he was. Thanks for sharing. ATB.

Wow! They're feathering is so nice n shiny. They are fed and kept in great shape. Shiny hens mean happy hens.

The goats are chillin’ with the Rhode Island Reds ! 🤔 🤣😂🤣

They’re both beautiful birds !

O que belleza de gallo y gallinas , super nice thanks

Chickens 🐔 and Birds are the best 👌 👍

What a beauty!!

Such a beautiful pair!

They look very healthy & happy. Great to see chickens like this instead of being cooped up in tiny cages with their beak tips burnt off.

I love how he stands guard at the shed door while she layed her egg. What a good boy

Thank for the enjoyment of watching the beautiful roast and hen, just to see some their time on the farm free ranging.

He's quite the Star. Awesome condition. Congrats 👍

Thats a fine looking rooster

He is so cute.. he really looks out for his hen.... 😊

Beautiful slender rooster, the goats are restful, they trust to him, he is patrolling around the yard😌💖

Me gustan mucho, te compraba dos docenas de huevos para la incubadora. Un saludo.

They look so beautiful (: He is so cute, his like "Oh my wife is going! Wait for me Honey!" @1:19 XD

When I was young we kept chickens in moveable 'arks' that we moved around a field. We used to buy this breed as one day old chicks, they came in what looked like a big pizza box ( not that we knew what a pizza was) with 50 chicks inside , small fluffy chicks , delivered by rail.

nice video, it's making me ponder starting another flock

thank you for your replies. it takes time out of your day. so thanks!! I have been raising chickens for five years. we have a few Rhode Island reds some barred rocks and leghorns. I love raising them. I use diatomaceous earth as well. it seems to be some awesome stuff. they love taking dust baths in it. it's truly great stuff! by the way I love your videos. cheers

Nice and ty for the explanation of egg laying and fertile vs non fertile

My rooster looks exactly like that one even with the multichrome tail

I’ve had RIR’s for about 5 years now, they mainly range before the snow comes, but they get themselves in the coop around dusk, and I lock them in at night, due to predators, which we have many of. I’m wondering this... Is that the only hen...and only rooster? I ask this because I have found that, (and let me try and put this correctly), most roosters tend to have a very a high libido, and although very diligent in their duties to keep the flock safe...can be very demanding with the hens...in the sexual department. What I mean is, I would worry about the hens if I only had even 6 hens to every one rooster. So my question is, how is it that he isn’t always accosting her, if she’s the only hen? She looks very healthy, and has all of her feathers. Maybe my roosters have just been...a bit off? I hope I put this across decently, and sorry if I seem crude! Chicken talk...straight up. Look forward to hearing from you!

totally enjoyed this video. subscribed and liked thank you

very beautifull shining feather love frome pak

Very beautiful, how old is he

Excellent standard - congratulations!

beautiful

Pretty good eating.

How cute. Interesting he only has one hen. I guess the other one dominates all else. It's funny how they just go under the gate when they want.

very nice hen.good

I have read and heard so many stories that both Rhode island Red hens and roosters are very aggressive and mean to humans and other members of the flock. Sure does not seem to be the case here. Have I misunderstood other people's claims? Great videos and great channel.

Magníficos ejemplares, enora buenas

Pure Rhode island red

wow..great video

How many weeks are they

They lay darker yolks than other breeds because they contain too much orange color in their skin and legs. Many researchers chose RIR for this reason and crossed them with white rocks to produce the commercial RSL.

Nice birds , do you expose them in shows to? I am asking because I see that you're RI is different then the ones we have in Europe For example if you look on my channel you 'll see that I have a family 1-4 that are a little bit smaller but the collor is much darker and shiny . It interesting to see the difference that is between the same breed but raised and selected for different thinks.

That is a nice looking Rooster! of the 49 chickens we have, there are 8 or 9 different breeds, 15 are Rhode Island Reds. I find their interaction to be fascinating, most of them are 8 to 9 weeks old, with two Rhode Island Red roosters that are 19 weeks old and 3 two year old Bantams (Two hens 1 rooster) While observing the younger ones, I have found the white roosters, Which are either or both Austra White's and Delaware's. do not like the Barred Rock and Black Australorp pullets. They are fine with the white and red hens, but chase off the black ones. In general, all the breeds pretty much hang with the others of their breed and get along the best with the others of their same breed. Beings this is the case, I am wondering if I will need to keep more roosters then I once thought. Also, do you have any tips on selecting what roosters should be kept? Some of the younger white ones are starting to crow, none of the red ones are, not even the two older Rhode Island reds are crowing yet. The white ones that are crowing also have a higher pecking order then the two older Rhode Island reds which are much bigger then they are. Is this a good trait in roosters? I would think those that develop earliest into being what they should be, would be better then those who develop later or not at all. So things such as their crowns being larger, showing signs of strength and crowing would be good indicators they are the best in the flock for reproduction, is this true?

wow! thnx!

Hello mga sir. Good day po.saan po ba pwese makabili ng Rhode Island chicken ?

Haloo brother

his spurs aren't completely out yet right? he's less than a year old? is that right?

I have 49 in my flock right now. around 15 are roosters, I will be butchering many of them, right now they all are free ranging, would it be better for me to put the roosters I plan to butcher in a pen to fatten them up? Would this help with weight gain? they are around 14 weeks now, I plan to butcher at around 20 weeks, if it is better to coop them to fatten them up, at what point should I do this? Thanks in advance.

I've never had any chickens before and I'm getting two RIR chicks from a friend. Will they be okay with just the two of them?
