    The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

    Matt, Here are a couple of the great RIRs I got from you last year. They are about 11 months old in this photo. I just came across this thread and this is the most recent picture I could find. Sorry for the GLW photo bomb. Any thoughts on these two.

    The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

    Thank you everyone for your help. I had sent Bob an email to find out where I could find some of these beautiful heritage birds. Hopefully I will make it to the show in Clanton, Alabama this October that Bob told me about. I would love to have a few of those Heritage Mohawk RIR's to get started...

    The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

    Hello. I just got a RIR rooster and three pullets from a family that was moving out of state. They are somewhere around 6 months old. I was curious to know if these look like breeder type RIR or just typical hatchery birds? The Rooster seems to be getting some nice color. I would love to have...

    FBC Marans or Partridge Wyndotte Rooster?

    I thought his head/face reminded me of an EE a bit. Ya, I suppose he is a pretty mutt. Thanks.

    FBC Marans or Partridge Wyndotte Rooster?

    This rooster decided my hens needed a little company. He found his way to my flock from a neighbors yard. I have some FBC Marans hens and was wondering if he could be a FBC Marans. If he had a taller comb I would think FBC Marans but I can not tell if he has a rose comb or if his comb could have...

    Wyandotte mix? What am I?

    Quote: She has been laying a brown speckled egg. Right now I get about 2 of these a week and she is the only one I suspect would be laying it. I have had Wyandottes in the past lay a speckled eggs. I will get a better picture of her whole body. My main concern was the blue on her comb, face...

    Breed question...

    The first hen does look more like a standard RIR while the others look like a cross of a RIR "production red". What is the difference between a production red, RIR and red sex link? The production reds look very close to a RIR to me... I understand that Red Sex links are a cross with a RIR or...

    Wyandotte mix? What am I?

    I have had this hen for a few weeks. The gentleman I bought her from sold me 6 hens and this was the only one of her kind. He called her a Wyandotte. However I have another post asking about the blue color in her comb and face which is a concern to me. I had one person comment that she is not a...

    Blue color in Wyandotte's comb?

    Quote: Thank you for the info. it certainly helps. As far as being sick there was something going around in the flock. It was a respiratory related bug of some sort. It could be Infectious Bronchitis or Coryza. I had two hens that had drainage and one that had started to have a smell to it. i...

    Blue color in Wyandotte's comb?

    She was sneezing for a couple days but I have not noticed it lately. She seems healthy and she is at the top of the pecking order. She is interesting though. She is always very alert and her eyes are pretty intense. I believe she is probably a mix of some sort. She has that greenish tint to her...

    Blue color in Wyandotte's comb?

    here is another pic of her. Any thoughts on what she is? You can see the blue in her comb in this picture as well.

    Blue color in Wyandotte's comb?

    I thought she looked different than any Wyandotte that I have had before. The gentleman I bought them from called her a Wyandotte. I wonder what she is then? A mix perhaps? Any way the blue in the comb is the main concern. Any thoughts on it being a problem or a sign of one?

    Blue color in Wyandotte's comb?

    I have only had this Wyandotte for a few weeks. I just noticed that she has quite a bit of blue in her comb and around her ears. Is this a sign of disease? She and some of my other hens have had some respiratory symptoms. Mostly just dry sneezing. I wasn't sure if this is something to be...
