More info on caring for your Rhode Islands, Easter Eggers, Ducks and Goats coming soon. If the animals ever let us stay inside for a day we will have some good info eventually ; ) Below is a good photo to determine if you have a hen or a rooster for the Rhode Island breed. We've come to notice the roosters will sometimes have larger combs, wattles, will be more tall and gangly looking and depending on age spurs may start to form on their legs.
