Northeastern North Carolina Area - Need RIR Rooster

[ShellyBlanco]

I am looking for a RIR Rooster or Cockerel. I'd prefer one at least six months old with a good temperment.

I have one but I'm in Illinois. Unless you wanna take a little vacation and pick him up

Did you check craigslist in your area?
I’m in a different part of nc but there are always posts to rehome roosters here.

Looking at a RIR listed to rehome. Can anyone tell me what kind of comb this is and is it the SOP for a RIR.

Thats a rose comb. No clue about the SOP.

@007Sean @aart Can you help me with this? I am looking for a RIR Rooster and want a good quality SOP and temperment. Starting with SOP.

 

[007Sean]

It has good development of comb and wattle for it's age but the rest of his conformation is weak. Personally, IMHO he isn't SOP but a little better than a hatchery bird.

I believe RIR should have single combs....if so, that's not a RIR.

You might find a thread for serious RIR breeding here:

I was able to borrow a APA SOP book from my state wide library system,
it was an older one but still pretty valid.

Thanks so much. I'm not looking for show birds, but a better than good specimen for breeding with my RIRs for chicks for my own flock.
Funny, I do love that comb, eventhough I don't think it is SOP for RIR.
