BIN: RHODEBAR hatching eggs!

[cluckitall]

Hi Sonya! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply -- the past month was crazy-busy, including car engine that blew up Thank you for your feedback -- I'm glad the last hatch went so well for you! That's one more reason I love the rhodies; the eggs seem to withstand shipping very well. PM sent!

That's wonderful. I'm doing the same. My F1s and BC1s are on the ground. Will still be another 3 generations before I am 100% back to full auto sexing with proper barring, but wow! They will be the nicest true Rhodebars in the country at that point. I'm very excited. It takes so many years to develop those new lines but I wish more people were because the Rhodebars need so much improvement. The hundreds I've culled just to get a few awesome ones is amazing compared to most breeds. The brick shape has been one of the hardest features to perpetuate.

What is the difference betweenF1's and BC1's?

F1s are a first generation of cross.
F2s are a second generation out cross.
BC1 is a back cross, etc, etc

Got it, Was wondering what bc stood for, thank you!

Yeah, it's standard breeding notation and a good way of keeping track which generation/cross you're on. Either that, or take LOTS of notes, lol!

Your Birds look amazing.

One of my Favorite Breeds.

Ours are laying really well right now and think everyone should add them to there flock

Still working on improvements myself one generation at a time

Hi everybody! I am in the process of relocating, so all egg sales are suspended for the moment. I'll repost when we're back up and running. Thank you to everyone who has bought eggs in the past - I really appreciate your business!
