Hello. I just got a RIR rooster and three pullets from a family that was moving out of state. They are somewhere around 6 months old. I was curious to know if these look like breeder type RIR or just typical hatchery birds? The Rooster seems to be getting some nice color. I would love to have some true Heritage RIR but would like to know where my RIR falls as far as breed standards.
Thanks,
John
Thank you everyone for your help. I had sent Bob an email to find out where I could find some of these beautiful heritage birds. Hopefully I will make it to the show in Clanton, Alabama this October that Bob told me about.
I would love to have a few of those Heritage Mohawk RIR's to get started with.
One more question. The hens are just starting to lay. However, I noticed they are laying a very light colored egg. One of them is laying a cream colored egg not even brown really. Is that normal even for hatchery RIR's. Perhaps that will change with time. They are still small to medium sized eggs right now.
