From Privett. I just wanted to experiment with this... I may get a little more into it, if the offspring lay half way decent. I have this one going and my meat project going... either one are laying yet.

I think both of us got ours from Privett. I would love to see some pics of those offspring when you get them.... sounds like they would look pretty cool. I have buckeyes too so I may cross them over the RIW to see what I get. Glad to see I'm not alone in this... Seems like there is a few of us...

Ok so here are mine... They have a lot of growing yet to do... and they are in with the EE. The second pic is the New Hamp roo... can you find him?

SO I have 25 Rhode Island Whites and some New Hamp males. I would like to try to raise my own sex links. From my experience the Golden Sex links from the Hatcheries are great but don't believe that I have to keep buying good laying hens yearly. Some of the success with the hatchery stock is...
