Rhode Island Red chickens have a reddish brown color, and are normally thin.... says the last person to answer this question ...
but i have 20 rhode island red hens and 2 roosters that we raised from a day old and they have never been thin not one day in their life they are huge chickens tall and fat. They are rust red with black markings along the wings(the markings vary per chicken and so does the shade of red ) My roosters are a very dark brownish red where some of my hens are a brighter red. when they are babies they are fuzzy and bright orange.
Not usually, unless they are too heavy to fly up to the roost.
Most chickens that stay on the ground at night are either too heavy or sick to seek a safe perch/roost above the floor of the coop.
All chickens can fly, not far and not high but unless they have had their wings clipped they can attain some lift and distance when needed. This is the way chickens escape predators and reach their evening roost.
Rhode Island Red chickens fly a little. They tend to hop up to get a start and flap their wings. As they get larger in size their flying ability is reduced.
