    The Rhodebar thread!

    We were terribly glad when it was pointed out that our one Rhodebar hen had lacing instead of barring. We just hadn't noticed/paid attention to it. So we pulled her and went though all of our chicks and juveniles and pulled tags off of all of her offspring and relabeled them as culls. They will...

    He stays outside all day long- our backup roo that stays in the shade is not quite as washed out as he is.

    We are only keeping the easily autosexed anyone who is not easily sexed are labeled as culls and used for eating or egg layer flock but not labeled as a Rhodebar at all. I agreed that is why we have been culling heavily on these. Most hatches come out great with several very easily sexed chicks...

    Critics welcomed, she is not as orange as she looks, cell phone picture caused that, this pair is throwing some very nice chicks so far, time will tell. We also have another quad that were direct from Greenfire that we are working with and 1 extra greenfire direct Rooster.

    We believe in improving everything we have, we do have a lot so not everything gets worked on every year. We are enjoying our Rhodebars very much, was admiring 3 Juvenile pullets that were in a grow out pen last night.

    These were 2 I hatched before Christmas. I have 2 pens divided and will soon have one more divided off of that one. One of the pens is resulting in much darker males with white spot on the head and the females darker also. I am retaining the darkest ones to grow up and breed.

    We heavy cull anything that does not have clear marking at hatch. Sure don't want to have that mess. We are currently not working on improving ours but plan on it in the future but probably no until next year or the year after. I need to decide how I am going to set up my breeding program for...
