Is it possible to create a "Rhodebar" by crossing a Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock using the same method used for Welbars, Legbars, etc. I am interested in the idea and am willing to put in the time and work if it is possible. I have read that the wheaten gene in the RIR causes issues but was...

I've got a 3.5 month old rir x ameracauna cockerel. He's started mouning hens and has been crowing about a month...seems early maturing to me. Anyway he's been staring at me and cackling. I put my hand out and he pecked it hard. Has not charged but I'm worried it's the beginning of a nasty...
