Absolutely no need to be sorry! You have a very valid point and I totally respect your experience! Any and all advice I can get from people like you who know their stuff is welcome any time.
Oh, and I checked out your website! I would LOVE to order some eggs someday in the future...but I...
Beautiful birds!! I hope I get some that nice some day! If my boys had one that great they would be winners for sure. Yes, I took what you said a few posts back about mixing lines to heart. I just meant that I would like a couple different lines to compare to each other over all, not to breed...
I know exactly what you mean! I just got my boys into poultry 4-H and I am finding out quickly that there doesn't seem to be a REAL RIR breeder in Nevada (if anyone knows one please let me know, lol). There's maybe a half dozen people around here who would even recognize one for what it is. I am...
Yep! They look just like mine! I have 3 RC and 10 SC RIRs. I love them all. One of the chicks is much lighter than the rest and he/she looks like the tips of the wings (as much wing as he/she might have for being 3 days old) are almost white. I wish I knew what the parents were like. Does that...
Thanks for your view point and info. I respect the info that comes from your real personal experience and knowledge. It's easy to "google" things and get false or skewed information. I have always been a little mentally OCD about keeping things certain ways, in this case, keeping the traits that...
Yep! Did that punnet square last night. Thank you for verifying my research!! I am pretty sure I have both RC and SC in my day olds. I just don't know their breeding history as far as how Dick separates types, so I was curious about the possibilities of what I may have for the future...hope that...
Thank you for the info, what you said actually makes perfect sense. I am a bit of a science nerd and genetics is an area that fascinates me the most. I have browsed through most of this thread and found it most helpful. I will go back and read up some more. I love your web page as well, by the...
Question for the experts:
Can you tell a rose comb from a single comb on day old RIR chicks, and how does that work genetically? I mean, if you bred two single combs can you still end up with rose comb, or is rose comb something you would breed specifically for? Here are two combs on day olds...
