Are you talking about her Delaware project birds? The F1 Barred Rocks X New Hampshires? So you would cross one of those boys with a RIR?
How would the color from the NH work out though, they're awfully orange. I'm shooting for a deep mahogany bird.
I wouldn't claim it was the best...
Jeremy, have you considered getting some red barred chicks from Kathy? You can cross a cock with a good Red, even a production red to get a head start. I would cross onto a production red and pick a cockerel from that cross to put on a good Red for color. Kathy has one step done.
