There are other posts on different threads on BYC addressing chicks with chipmunk markings. With most any breed the chicks can have chipmunk markings but as they loose their down and get their feathers their chipmunk markings disappear. I also have Reese/Mohawk Rhode Island Reds. I do refer to the pure RIR's as heritage. The chicks do vary somewhat in lightness and darkness of their down but as they get their feathers the darker red/mahogany color is apparent. Bob Blosl (RIP)the starter of this thread named it "The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site". I believe his intentions was to show and educate people that there is a difference in the pure (heritage) Rhode Island Reds. I know I have posted this before, http://bloslspoutlryfarm.tripod.com/id64.html. I also raise Rhode Island Whites. Rhode Island Red Club of America.

I'm very interested in the RIR Mohawk bloodlines
