Ebay Rhode Island Whites hatched!

[Scraps]

I won an Ebay auction for 12 eggs, they sent 14. 6 quit along the way but the other 8 hatched last night

Its my first time with getting eggs in the mail so I'm surprised I had such good luck!

How come the RIW's aren't very popular?? They sure are pretty!!

I don't know if they are not popular or just not known. I have some and they are great. I have a clutch of them ready to hatch on Saturday.

I hadn't even heard of them until a few months ago and that was in relation to ISA Browns. I don't know why they aren't as popular, do they lay as well as the Red? I am funny about whites because I free range and they are more visible to predators.

Some on correct me if I am wrong but I thought RIWs were Rose Combed.

I have had really good luck with the eggs we have got from ebay.

They are. Some how the picture looks like they are single comb. They have the same comb as a red.

They do lay brown eggs just like a red too.
