The Gingernut Ranger is a Rhode Island Red crossed with a Light Sussex. They have a deep breast, neatly tucked wings and an upward pointing tail. The legs are featherless and are pale yellow. They have 4 toes. The comb is a medium size and the face is smooth and red with medium wattles and earlobes.
The Gingernut Ranger is a prolific egg layer and lays large brown eggs. They are placid, friendly and inquisitive. They are also exceptionally easy to tame and will follow you around when you are in the garden. They are hardy birds who are very happy free ranging and love to forage. They make excellent pets for children due to their gentle nature and friendliness.
The plumage of the Gingernut Ranger is rich red with either black or white tail feathers

I have two of this breed along with a miss pepperpot Goldy and Toffee my two gingernut rangers are very tame and obedient they trust me and have lovely plumages their deep ginger colour looks incredible in the summer and lights up the garden n the winter personally i dont have a favourite between the two breeds, i think that they are a very good and easy pet to look after i am personally a teenager and i find it east to look after them and clean them out.
Bought my youngsters from Beacon Stud in Kent and they have been great to tame up and are now as friendly as a pet dog-lovely, healthy birds and just started laying at 15 weeks now and so we will have eggs almost every day for this first year. Spent a long time with these friendly people and was so happy with the care and attention they gave us-all good advice 1st hand and loads of tips-strongly recommended.
We very recently got some Ginger nut rangers and we are amazed at how friendly they are. For any first time chicken owners out there this is Definitely the one.ashotio
They are very nice to have and are lovely to watch
We were given 'Harry Potter' by friends, and she quickly became part of our family. She is frequently picked up and cuddled by our children, which she seems quite happy about. She rarely squawks or fusses and will follow us around the garden when we are outside. If she is typical of her breed, then this is the ideal choice if you have young children and are first time chicken owners. We have just bought a young Sussex, so we hope that they will become good friends over time...this remains to be seen!
