I like reading all of the posts on this site. The Heritage RIR's are my favorite for sure. Nice to see all the breeders over the years still maintaining the Reds. We need them and appeciate them. Dan from Norco, CA

Keep good pictures of him so you can see how he develops. I would like to see him too.

Great pictures of the new chicks. Who grows faster?

I like this picture of the RIR but also want to mention the background coop wall. That looks like great protection from the Predators. Here in California, we have snakes, and I would bet this would be great to keep them out. Great idea to put a solid border of metal around the bottom of the...

It has been great seeing all of the recent RIR pictures over the last several pages! Keep it up gang. Dan

Post some pictures! Tell us more about them.

That is what I am looking for! Is hers correct for the SOP? What I mean is; Are the green portions of ticking at the end of the feather correct size, Is this what we are going for? Thanks!

Jim, I want to get some pictures/photos of the real thing! I have never seen one on here that I could make out exactly what the "perfect" look would be. I know that it is a good indicator of the color balance in the Hen. Too much black or streaking in the hen hackle will pepper some of the...

Great Pullet! That is as good as they come. She looks great in that picture. What line is she from?

All good info. I was just hoping to see more RIR posts. Keep on posting! I have read every word of this thread. I look forward to reading more and check here every day. You all have great info but I like the Red stuff the best. I hope everyone is OK with the recent cold weather blast. Dan

Lets try to keep this the Heritage Rhode Island Red Site.

With regards to the name of the line of RIR: It is best to know where the stock came from in order to keep the concentrated genes from being mixed with outside stock. If we do not name the lines, according to where they originated from, it will soon be mixed by someone who dosn't know what...

I hope the Blosl Family will know how much we all appreciate Bob. My thoughts and prayers go out for Bob and his Family. He will be surely missed. Dan Norco, CA

I am so sad to hear of the loss of our friend Bob Blosl. I have learned so much from him here and will miss his informative posts. I am happy that I had the love for the Reds in common with him. May the Lord Bless him and Keep him. Dan
