That is a pullet, and too light to go into a RB breeding program. She's not showing the characteristics needed (dark coloring, clear dark striping, eyeliner, horn color on beak etc.).

I agree. I think it's just 2 photos of the same hens.

Thanks for the input. He's WAY better than what I started with. His first chicks at our farm are in the incubator...

New cock. Opinions?

Clearly autosexed, that's a good start.

VERY, I agree. Can't wait to see the draft of the US proposed standard.

Since there is already a British Standard for Rhodebar, isn't that the logical place to start? I'm not a show person, but it just makes sense to me.

Doing what, trying to create Rhodebar with barred rocks or pea combs? Neither is going to work with a barred rock.

That's a wheaten chick, meaning your Rhodebars are not pure. The chick to the lower right I would not breed, but the darker/heavily striped chick above is a nice pullet. I would also not use the cockerel in upper left of this photo.

Not exactly sure. Found one in Santa Clarita CA but still need a ride to NW Oregon somehow.

I was hoping there might be a BYC transport thread or something?

Does anyone have a good idea to find a private ride for a cockerel from TN to OR? Will not use postal shipping.

I'm pretty sure that barring is sexlinked and that's why we can breed sexlinks with them...males double barred and females single.

Maybe it is just that easy...keep the super dark ones!

I know next to nothing about this cross. I'm guessing it is not as easy as "keep the darkest ones?" Watching to learn...

If they are pure Rhodebar without head spots, then yes...congratulations!

Nice chick! I got the horn color in my F1s. We'll see what the BC1 looks like as soon as those F1 pullets start laying.

Our Rhodebar lay very light brown (tannish) eggs.

wow...okayyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Here are the F1 pullets I've kept so far. The one is my clear favorite and I love the way she is growing out. This is the original pair, glaring faults and all. This cockerel was put over Padgett X Underwood HRIR pullet.
