Thank yall so much for sharing about your RIR X BL crosses. I like BL just want them bigger. RIR is to big I think for me. But sounds like this cross would be just right.I want to free range them in my Muscadines. The RIR might do all right here. We have a lot of Hawks and Eagles. Owls and Coons at night. I know I will have to coop them at night.
