Rhode Island Blue ... pullet?

[sayccrn]

From my little research rhode island blues are the same as production blues. Production blues are Rhode island reds and blue australorps mixed. So if shes the same then the feet color doesnt indicate sex. All of mine have blue/grey feet and all are pullets.

That is good to know. Thanks!

I thought Rhode Island blues were Rhode Island reds mixed with BLACK australorps? So maybe that is the difference?

I have no idea either, but I think mine looks more like a straight black australorp. Do they run true, or is it the luck of the genes, I wonder?

Possibly!!!!!!!!... apparently they lay brown eggs there so little information in there so many different kinds of names for this cross I'll have to really keep an eye on it I know it's a hybrid that way I can do a description on it was a Rhode Island Red rooster over a blue orpington...m
