I think the RIW was along with the Delaware, a victim of being at the wrong place at the wrong time,(sorta the way I see me being born a century too late) LOL They both hit the scene just about the time the CornishX (crosses) were becoming the in thing and stuck and they simply fell by the wayside. They simply got out-bested in the competition for the broiler/meat market. The Delaware probly lasted a little longer due to its egglaying capabilities and more of a homesteaders choice like a White Rock once was also. RIWs? I don't know there's just not much info about them to go on. In other words they were playing second fiddle.
It would have been interesting to see how they would have done as a front-man/in the spotlight, just never had a chance to show, I say. IMHO
