They are of two varieties
They are of two varieties Single comb Rose comb Rhode Island Reds are a good choice for the small flock owner they are probably the best egg layers of the dual purpose breeds. Reds handle marginal diets and poor housing conditions better than other breeds Some "Red" males may be quite aggressive. They have rectangular, relatively long bodies, typically dark red in color
Infectious basal disease (gamboro disease)
Infectious basal disease (gamboro disease) is a highly contaminating disease of young chickens caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) characterized by immuno suppression and mortality generally at 3 to 6 weeks of age.
coccidiosis
coccidiosis Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract of animals caused by coccidian protozoa The disease spreads from one bird to another by contact with infected feces or ingestion of infected tissue. Diarrhea, which may become bloody in severe cases, is the primary symptom.
