So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My condolences to his family and friends.

I was just curious what state lines has to do with non game chickens?

How do you improve hatching rates?

Hey moonie662 and NYREDS, you guys post showed up and mine disappeared...does it take a moderator to do that?

Oh my goodness. WOW no more free lunches lol.

Bob, all the talk about production reds here was about being nice and informative at the same time and answering a harmless question that could be coming from a child for all we know. As the 'thread starter' and 'teacher', let me know if this is against the rules here too. Is this a thread about...

Well there are at least two kinds of RIR. There are 'production reds' that hatcheries and feed stores sell and Heritage Rhode Island Reds. I have had production reds and enjoyed them very much. They are really good layers and I never had a problem with health or mean roosters like some people...

Congratulations! What a wonderful experience for you both I'm sure.

Bob, if we were to both get RIR from Don Nelson and we both started a separate line breeding program (say three times in and once out)...we would end up with two lines from the strain of Don Nelson, but if I never line bred my stock then I wouldn't have a line. I believe that is correct?

How does the chestnut color compare between the two at this age?

I am sorry you feel that way. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however I'm not sure how you could get 'attack' out of anything I said. I like Bob, he is one of the few people I have exchanged PM's with on this forum. It may be unintentional, but man, it's hard to keep up with the false...

Good for you Jim. You are blessed. I am blessed too

Thanks Jeff. I started trying to look it up and decided I was too tired, lol. Thanks for the information! ETA - wait, I thought the + signs meant it was lacking?? Sorry, I'm a novice at genetics

Bob, what you are saying hear ‘as I see it’, is simply that one should be ethical and I agree. If someone got (for example only) Don Nelson birds and felt the need for whatever reason, and sometimes there are legit reasons, to introduce new blood, then it would not be ethical to call them Don...

Thanks ALL for the replies. So Jeff, the partridge rock does carry mahogany? Take a look at this and tell me what you think. "I don not have any partridge rock but have some silver penciled, so I may very well be wrong on whether they carry Mahogany, but to my recollection they are more brown...

Can you elaborate on the reason/circumstance for the silver penciled/partridge cross? This kind of stuff is very interesting to me, thanks!

Bob that hen you have as your avatar now (and the Black and white Rooster in your pics too)...I see the brick and the flat topline, surrounded by what looks like sweeping curves to me...I like that look

Bob, since I am extremely new to SOP (still don't have a copy) maybe my question could be a good teaching point. I get the brick shape and flat top line. However, I've noticed in more of the old photos from years ago a little rise in the tail area and a little more 'curve' extending down the...

Welcome back Bob, hope you had a nice vacation.

I really don't get it when people get upset over a crowing rooster and yet there's nothing to do about neighbors who get drunk, loud, curse and blast music in the yard until after 10pm Every weekend we have to stay inside with the TV on to drown them out. A lot of folks just see the speck in...
