ONE: Two of these girls, what breed?

[SpringPeeper]

Yeah, that's what the marketing says, "RIR over RIW", but the reality is that the hatcheries don't have either one. The "red" they use is a specialized red mix and the "white" that they use is a single combed white specialty bird designed to nick with red bird when hybridized. But, since there are no breed police going around issuing tickets for, how shall we say it? Stretched statements, the beat goes on. Shocking, I know, but not everything put on websites is factual. LOL

There are millions spent in R & D for these birds as the commercial laying houses consume billions of these top layers. If a backyarder wants eggs, eggs, and more eggs? These various and sundry commercial layers like Tetra Corp's Tint or Amber or ISA's Brown? They will lay you lots and lots of eggs in a big hurry. Generally, they're also rather nice and friendly birds as a bonus.

I said it was the listed recipe, I didn't tell her it was a genuine breed made from show-quality heritage lines that perfectly conformed to breed standards.

Thank you all SO VERY MUCH... I am thrilled with all the information, and it makes no difference to me.. they are nicer birds than some of my "genuine breeds".... and, pets and eggs are my purpose.... so, good enough for me. Thank you all for being so helpful and informative. Kudos to all of you.

I appreciate all the expert opinions!
