Hey all, this picture was taken in 2010 when I had some of PineGroves reds (his name is William but not sure about his last name)
anyway my daughter showed our pullet and won not only grand champion but champion over all. It was the most amazing feeling for her and us. We only ended up with this hen we named "Ruby" and she actually died of a respiratory infection.
Just wanted to show you all that I love this breed! Now we have 11 of Jim's heritage reds from the Underwood line. I am hoping to keep this breed and be well in the know and mostly preventative medicine so these guys are well their whole lives.
They are sure beautiful!!!
He not a cull I was being a smart---

Chris is usually joking about a Cock Bird like that being a cull. I am fairly sure that one one Best of Breed or higher recently.
William Bennett (pinegrove) where or who has your Bennett reds now? Just curious

Well then he looks perfect to me too. Glad I could not find anything wrong. I can image how I would feel if I though he was the wrong shape or too dark.
I'll be sure to see which of mine look most like him. But so far mine are still too young at barely 7 months.
I do not have anymore of his reds. I only had 5 hatch and had 4 roos and 1 hen! I had to get rid of the roos cause at that time we were within the city, so I just had this hen. Then the hen died of a respiratory illness....
We were so very sad. I have tried to contact William over the years and he has never written back. I wish I knew how to get a hold of him. Other then that now we have the Underwood birds and we are gonna be excited for another show year next year. YEAH!
You are absolutely correct, if they give you pleasure then enjoy them to the fullest, and patiently wait till Spring to get you some real Reds. There are several on this thread you can drive to and get what you want, I thought I had bought the old timey Reds too but realized my mistake and now I have some Reds but do have my production reds for eggs. So I am happy, happy, happy.
Quote: By chance would you have a comparison picture of a production red egg and a RIR egg?
Saying that she only ended up with the one and she eventually died I'd guess that no one has them?????
