Camping, legbars do have a barring gene so theoretically u could get rhodabars from their hens crossed with a rir roo. Might put my 2 legbars in pen with 4 br hens & my single bar roo & see what i get.

Finnie is reading again! GO Finnie!!!

You can do it!

No, I really don't think I can, lol!

Oh my gosh, you guys crack me up!

So, I randomly started reading this thread from the beginning while I was on vacation, in the beginning of August. It took me what, 6 weeks? I am now up to the day of 10,000 posts.

Then I looked at the total of posts. In your first year and 5 months, you guys made 10,000 posts. In the year and one month after that, you made over 130,000 MORE posts!! That means 13 times of what I already read. 13 times 6 weeks?! = 78 more weeks to catch up?!! By then you will have 260,000 more posts, and I will NEVER catch up.

I have seen where Granny mentions people who are reading because they show up in the Currently viewing thing, and she says Hi to them. Then it occurred to me, Hm, my phone always has a page open to Granny's thread, and I just read it randomly when I have time or feel like it. I bet they think I am ALWAYS reading this! (But on mobile, you can't see the currently viewing feature.) Then I got to thinking, Hm, I wonder if Granny has said Hello to me, but I'm 130,000 posts behind, so I will never see it!! So I did a search on the thread for my name, and lo and behold, I have been mentioned. Good thing this never occurred to me before, or I might have felt conspicuous during all those weeks of reading.

(By the way, I logged in on my PC today, because I hate trying to type on my phone and because I wanted to be able to use smilies.

) Even the threads I participate in, I rarely post anything because of my phone. So don't be surprised it I am fairly quiet.

I once tried to join the Hatching with Friends thread. I only read what was posted that morning, and then I asked a question. I checked back a few hours later, and they had HUNDREDS of new posts! My question was completely buried, and I had no way to find it again, if anyone ever did answer it. I just don't have time to read hundreds of posts every morning, so I gave up on the Hatching thread. Same thing with the Indiana BYCers thread when I was new. I just couldn't keep up. But now it has slowed down a lot (which is kind of too bad), except that now I can follow it, so I am reading that every day, even if I rarely post. (Which I am going to do soon, because I have a Buff Laced Polish boy that needs a new home.)

So anyway, Hi folks!

Hi Finnie!!
Welcome home!

Hi there @Finnie - catching up can be pretty daunting, you could always just join the fray here at this end of the thread, and read back as time allows.

One of my favorite songs to sing along to -- thank you for starting my day on that note!!!

My point was that while there is barring involved in the rhodebar (as all the other "bars") it is not as simple as just one over the other as the true -bar "breeds" are a continued venture into the breeding to where you are no longer crossing but breeding true within the "breed" itself.
