I live off of 16 in NH and want to get in touch with people who seriously breed these two Chicken relatively close by. I have a few different breeds but want to get some RIR and NH breeding stock in the spring and completely switch gears by 2019.
I already have a juvenile NH roo so will only be looking for young NH pullets. I will need a RI roo as well as pullets.
To me a RIR hen shouldn't be light red nor have any white, Mahogany or bust!
To me a NH hen should be a nice gold/red with no white and be slightly bigger than a RIR.
Is there anyone out there really pushing to make quality birds in both color and egg production?
On CL I have been mostly disappointed with the quality of hens. Then most commercial hatcheries have suppliers who solely focus on egg production and lost touch with color quality. I could spend a few years buying from all of the hatcheries and selectively breeding but I am hoping someone in NH or New England has already done that or themselves found a good local breeder to buy from!
Any info would be great, thank you in advance!
