    The male above is one that I used as a breeder the year I sent Greg Chamness his ten started chicks which was about 18 years ago. Its amazing how the color stayed with these birds which may be birds that Paul got in Colorado a from Greg about 6 years ago. Thanks for the pictures and look...

    There are no books or old Rhode Island Red Journals laying around to pluck. I was lucky to get my hands on the 1912 to 1944 issues from old breeders then got the Rhode Island Red Chronicles from 1944 to the present. I have gone to College Vet Libraries and read their issues on their shelf's...

    When I get request from Folks who want Homstead Reds I send them here.to IDEAL hatchery. These birds a a cross of the two in my view. They can make a profit with eggs as they are good layers. They are of medium color so they got a touch of Standard Breed Blood in them. This is the way go to...

    I have seen homesteaders go on these I want birds like Mr. Jones had back in1915 or 20. Our birds are so superior to what they had back then. As Conservations and breeders of old time flocks we want to breed toward what our for fathers have in the past forty years. I can see your concern you...

    That's very nice. Are you setting or collecting Rhode Island Red Eggs Liked I use to raise or the public wants to get started with? Its very hard for me to know who has chickens in a pen with one or two males when new people want the Real Rhode Island Reds. Also, there is a right time and wrong...

    Bob, I just wanted to let you know that a good breeder has indeed been able to fulfill our needs, and to thank you for your part in helping me to find him. The road to finding some good quality RIR’s has been a long one, but with the few that we have now, and the birds we will be getting from...

    He is dark, got good brick shape, good head points, does not like being in that pen and is sulking. I am sure if he was on the ground walking naturally he would be flat as a pancake with his upper brick shape or top line flat. If he came from the two males I think he came from he should be. So...

    In a few months this fellow is going to be in his prime. Still needs time to get his finish in. So may post young ckls and so much can change in one to two months. Some are worried sick at five to six months of age. of their Reds its just to early to tell. When they get every feather in and...

    I feed my birds their regular feed, throw out some scraps, let them have plenty of room to pick bugs etc and if they don't have yellow legs, maybe I'll paint them. I have quite a few different lines of reds and a few different breeds for egg production and none of them have white legs. Some are...

    Do you think the surface color of the Heritage Rhode Island Red and its quill color has a factor to the leg color of some strains of Rhode Island Reds? That is prettier the yellow in the legs the lighter the color of the females when they are hens and more yellow in the pigment of the legs...

    I wish I could have ten dollars for people who worry about the yellow in the legs of their Rhode Island Reds. Do judges worry about that issue in picking their top choices? Is their more important issues to think about. Like width of back being even, head points, legs dead center, vigor...

    can you see the brick shape all ready in his frame. Also he has great beak color at this age. This is what makes these the real old fashion Rhode Island Reds. To bad people can not buy these at the feed stores.
