I live in Lindon, Utah. I just got the pair I have from a friend so I have no idea the linage. I'm not necessarily interested in show quality, just want them for my own breeding programs I have going but would really like to get another roo since all that's sold in my area are production reds...

I'm just starting my own flock of Heritage RIRs and the rooster I keep got injured and isn't doing very well so I'm looking for another one. I have no idea where to get a TRUE Heritage one, so I thought this thread my be a good place to post for one. I'm very new to BYC and not very familiar...

If anyone is interested in some beautiful, excellent laying birds, let me know. I hatched a bunch of barnyard mix chicks from my flock and I need to get rid of them. Also, if anyone what's roosters for raising or eating, I don't care, I have a bunch of them, too. I will try to post pics but I've...

Quote: I'll have to keep that in mind for next year. I like the tomato idea because it gives them shade while they do their dusting and they love red. They like to dig, roll and hide under the tomato plants. I'll be surprised if my tomatoes make it this year. Ah well I'm having to much fun...

Question? Does anyone know what to cross to make a Freedom Ranger meat bird? I bought some earlier in the year to raise and in the meantime I hatched some of my barnyard mix and I have about 3-4 that look identical to the FR chicks I bought earlier so I know I have the combo I just need to...

I'm new here but have been a reader for awhile. I'm in Ut County and I'm seriously obsessed!!! I guess I fall into the crazy, over-doing-it category, too. I planted a field of oat, rye, wheat, triticale and pasture grass for my flock. Also some broccoli, cabbage and other greens to feed them.

I understand that but I think I have the combination within the flock I have. Do you have any suggestions on what they could be from? I'm told that the Freedom Rangers come from French stock which leads me to believe that Marans are most likely a part of it, especially since I have some of them...

I'm curious to know if anyone knows the chickens used to make a Freedom Ranger meat bird. I bought some earlier in the year and raised them for meat. I also have a mixed variety of hens and roos and hatched a bunch of eggs from them. I can now see that I definitely have the combination to make a...

Hey, I'm a newbie here and just tried to hatch by first batch with not much success. I had one hatch on Monday, then nothing until one pipped this morning and a couple hours later die right in the shell. What happened? Also, I have a bunch develop so far then die. ???? I have three different...
