    Rhode Island Red

    My question is, Can you breed regular stock RIR so much that you get darker RIR? Or will I have to buy a darker rooster every other generation to get darker? Any help is very much appreciated!!

They’re about 6 months now and neither have laid their...

However, tomorrow night is supposed to get down to -10F and I worry it will be...
