Oh, you noticed that one, too? Dang, I can't get away with anything.

But, hey, I knew the Delawares from the Reds!

So you saw it too Beth? I didn't know for sure but the one did make me go "Huh? Funny looking RIR, I didn't know that some of them looked so much like Buckeyes"!!!!!

To be honest, I might not have if I didn't know she had both of them.

I got a email asking me to see some Heartage Rhode Island females these are this years hatch of a fine strain of Don Nelson of Rhode Island. He will be sharing some of these girls at the Ohio National. Look at the dark even color. The female on top has super type.
When I call dual purpose Heartage Chicken they lay good amount of eggs, have good flesh on thier bones and pretty to look at this is what I am talking about in this picture. This kind of Rhode Island Red does not start laying at four or five months of age. They are slow to mature and lay at about seven months of age. Very rare to find this kind of R I Red maybe only two hundred like these if that many during breeding seasons of January and February. bob
