I bookmarked the standards. Thank you.
Your "chicks" are growing fast... they always do, don't they? They look like a good bunch.

Hi All

Here is a very old print of the Redcaps.

It is the print Murray McMurray Hatchery has used for a long time.

Hi All

Here are a few pictures I took today of my Redcaps. I am very happy to see that my females are starting to get more gold in their feathers.

Stunning! I really like the color on the pullets also.

Excellent information on the breed! It mentions Redcap bantams, do they still exist?

Hi Ryan

Yes, I have seen pictures of the Redcap bantams but they were pictures from the UK . I will try and find it and post a link to their website.

I finally have my flock split and have the Redcaps separated from the other miscellaneous chickens. I have been getting an egg a day from each of my three Redcap hens. These girls are going into their third summer. I think that's pretty impressive. I put some in the incubator... it's hot (very) and later than I really want chicks but I couldn't resist. Of course these will be too young to add to the big chick group! Does the extreme heat (93 today) effect the vibrancy ( now there's a word!) of the hatching eggs?

Hi there , I've been looking through some of the threads to look for more information on breeding ect. and I have to say, this is true dedication to showing the progress of your flock. I loved looking at all the pictures and seeing the vidoes! The inthusiasum is great! Great job!

I wish you luck! I've personnaly never had redcaps before and I'm starting to think they might be e fun breed to try some day. Thanks so much for sharing this great thread with everyone.
