I've got three Rhodebar roosters looking for new homes. I hatched out three different sets of eggs and ended up with a no pullets, so these guys need to go. PM me for details.
He's the oldest, he's beautiful! about 18 weeks old. I have another that is about 14 weeks old, and a third...
anyone interested in Rhodebars? after trying with 3 different batches of eggs I've got three roosters. I'm giving up on the breed. roosters range in age from day old to 16 Weeks. pm me for more info.

Haven't sexed them... But I plan on processing all the cockerels mid summer. I just like the little chickies...Do think its easier to sell chicks or older birds?
I just hatched some backyard crosses, The roo is an Easter Egger, and the hens are my best winter layers, a RIW & a WL. I'm debating on whether I should sell some as chicks or wait until spring and they're a bit older...what do you all think?
These are the RIWxEE chicks. cute little balls of...
