Probably wrong, but thinking out loud about the TSC “BRs”

[EmmaRainboe]

I am just thinking out loud. I know I, and many others are curious about what is happening.


I‘m sure we are all very familiar with the TSC BRs that Hoover’s has been pumping out.

Well while doing my daily Cackle surfing dreaming about all the birds I will never be able to afford I found these, Kosher King.

I’ve personally never heard of them. But they reminded me of the TSC “Barred Rocks”.

Cackle didn’t have any images of the pullets.

So, I went to the web (which I know can’t be trusted. Just look at all the misinformation on Ameraucanas. Main reason I decided to make this thread.) and found pictures of the pullets. They look almost identicle.

Now I know Hoover’s has two lines of BRs, thanks to @TheAlrightyGina.

Anyone think these could be related? I know Kosher King are meat birds.


Also, does that website I linked have correct pictures of the pullets?

That's very interesting...I have no idea though. There are more pictures on Freedom Ranger website. I think they're the original producers: https://www.freedomrangerhatchery.com/kosher-king.asp

Oh that’s interesting, thanks! This one in particular looks very similar.

In fact all of these do.

Yep. They mention BR and Sussex. I wonder if anyone on here has made that cross before and has pictures?

Meyer sells them too. These things seem to be pretty common...but it appears Hoover's doesn't have them. Hrm...

Interesting. I’m starting to believe Hoover’s “second line of barred rocks” may actually be Kosher Kings.

Meanwhile I'm wondering if Kosher Kings are actually Kosher

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Hoovers quality is complete crap. Doesn't surprise me at all.

Super interesting find girls!
