I could see that. Killian is only the 3rd RIR I’ve ever owned, and they’ve all come from TSC, so I don’t know about quality. But they’ve all been very different!
@MysteryChicken This is Brandy and her RIR flock mate. They are the same age. When you see them side by side, you can see that Brandy is more orange or gold. Killian, the RIR, is more red and has bright yellow legs. Brandy is also much floofier. 😂
She is not redcap.
I didn’t realize about the speckled gene not coming through. I hatched a bunch of eggs from this SS hen and they all came out basically reddish. A couple of the cockerels had some speckling on their chests, but nothing impressive.
I didn’t realize this these was still going on. I may need to update my notification settings.
Anyone want to guess this pullet? She’s 50/50 common heritage breeds. One breed is very common, but the particular color is not so much.
