My husband came home with chicks a few months ago. Same breed as yours and we have 2 males. If anyone is in the north Mississippi area, I will sell them cheap. They are pretty and forage well. just don't need more roosters.😫

Same answer as to CalBickieMomma Thanks!

I am not going to lie to you...she MIGHT be from TSC...we hatched some of our own and bought a few around the same time.

Okay. I did not know that! I have had black hens before her and currently do have others. But I did not realize the face could be black without more exotic bloodlines.

Tea sounds great. Hot and oh-so-humid here.

Hey y'all. Here is a hen that has us perplexed. Her face and comb has a large amount of black in it. We believe her to be a mix, but are not sure where the black face.might have come from.

very good article

Sadly, no. My last heritage RIR passed away about a month ago. He was a sweet one. I do have a son of his, but he is only 1/2 RIR. The RIR rooster did cross my Wheaten Marans, so time will tell what they turn out to be.

Very good article. My broody hens do not molt?

I know this response is late, but thank you.

I have 6 babies that are mostly dark at this point, but 2 have several red feathers. (approx 4-6 weeks- different hens hatched them)

Ideas of what a heritage RIR rooster crossing with a Wheaten Marans hen would look like?

Thanks Chicken Canoe. Honestly, I was wondering more what their appearance might be. I did not make that clear at all in my first question. 🙄

Hello! Just wondering what I might get by crossing my heritage RIR rooster with a Dominique hen.
