This is a cross of Barred Plymouth Rock Rooster and a production red hen.
I'm thinking if the hen is a RIR it will look the same. I'll post a picture when I hatch one.
They are good for meat by the way.
You can see he looks heavy.
Thanks for that.
I'm actually trying to produce new offspring for egg production.
What I noticed is that production reds are better for meat than eggs.
In your experience what's the best layer so far?
They said Black/Red Sex Links are good layers unfortunately I only have 2 Barred Rock Hens/1...
Hi StarMeKritten,
Thanks for that.
I thought my F1s are already 75% RIR since New Hampshire are also from RIR.
Will I have a higher percentage of RIR now if I crossed my F1s (RIR x NH) to a purebreed RIR?
I actually have 30+ Production Reds.
I just got 5 new pure breed RIR.
I'm thinking of...
Hi Guys,
I have an f1 of Rhode Island Red x New Hampshire. (see below picture).
I just bought new Pure Breed Rhode Island Reds.
If I cross the 2, what do I got?
Thanks in advance.
Happy farming.
