[Rufflemyfeathers]

Does anyone have the link to BYC on this subject of Rhode Island Red Rooster and RIR Hen ?

I have RIR's and never noticed. Next batch of chicks I'll keep better track of. There are pictures on my BYC Page. I did order all pullets. I paid extra. So far I have gotten one Roo.

I had NO CLUE! That is a great thing to know because I will be hatching some soon. Do New Hampshire Reds work the same way?
