You'll be all over the place: lol.
The Reds are most likely Sex-linked. Question would be what breeds were used to make them? You know one was Black and the other Red but that is about it.
Personally, if I were trying to stabilize the Auburns I would go to a show and buy the absolute best RIR Hen I could find: no feed store stuff here.
Then I'd use the cock I had (Auburn) and breed over that RIR hen. I would then select for type first and color second. Shouldn't be that hard to do.
Please don't tell Monte I made this suggestion! I want to remain one of his best friends and this would get me on the turd-list fast!
