If you do not mind a drive to KS. Probably the best RC RIW are there ... PVT to me if you want to call and make a drive to KS.

I am going to make that drive, I have not ordered them yet. I did talk to Frank Reese I gotta couple grand babies in the oven and I don't want to miss their hatch date since I got them found I don't mind waiting until fall if I have to. I may build me a bigger pen and house. I will just have to see.

Is the show standards for the RIW the same as the RIR except for color ? And the comb ?

Yes, body type & size are the same. RI Whites are rose combed only-no single combed whites.

I have both Rose Comb RIWs and Single Comb RIWs. I breed my SC RIW females to one of my SC RIR males to produce Red Sex-Links.

Did the egg production improve over both the original parent flocks?
