Hi Paul: Isn't it nice to see some of your birds that you shared showing up on these pages and are stunning to look at. I think I found the male you where talking about that Greg used that you where talking about. I will post him and then the male that is from him many years past. Keep...

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...

I was looking at your progress with your birds Joseph and most of all your White Dockings. If people only knew how many chicks you had to hatch over a five year or more period that would be shocked to get a few pure white birds to work with each year. Joseph the old timers I knew would be very...

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 would use broody if I can. I have about 8 females ready for this spring. I can not and wont hatch bantams in the south in the early months the chicks are to large compared to the chicks hatched in March and April. Its a heat and humidity issue. No one would understand it. In large fowl You...

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...

Thanks for the picture. I would love to see one of her brothers pictures side ways. You are so lucky to have these birds and how you went about getting them. It proves if shipped correctly and using a fool proof method of shipping the eggs. Its a method I plan to use this spring when I get some...

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...

He got some chicks from Tom Wheeler which had barred Rock and White Rock blood crossed in many years before and some from Joel Gilman the old Tommy Stanley line. He crossed the three strains culled hard and has a great male line with good looking tails. He does not show but is a master of the...

This is normal for people who are this web site if you polled 1,000 people about wing banding they would say heavens no. You would have to inject them first with Lidocain ilk the dentist does in your mouth before having your teeth worked on and half of them would say no to toe punching. I...
