Arron...Glad to see you are working on the breed. Go a head and show us what you have. No one on here that I know of will judge you but just give you maybe some helpful advice.
Have you joined the Rose Comb Rhode Island White group on Facebook?
They turned out well. I also had some RC Black Sex-Links. I decided not to pursue them anymore and just concentrating on my Reds and Whites, my avatar. I do have some White Leghorns and Brown Leghorns too but these are the only breeds now that I'm going to work with. I have a dozen coops with nice big pens but running out of space so I'm downsizing.

I realized I never answered this. I had sex-able at hatch both RC and SC Sex-Links both Red and Black. I wasn't too happy with the White Wyandotte in the RIW's so I have sold all of those birds. I now have more pure RC RIW's. The birds with the White Wyandotte in them seemed to look, in body shape, more like the White Wyandotte not like my pure RIW's and I like to show my birds at poultry shows so I'm concentrating on my pure breeds.
Next Saturday (July 8th 2017) will be our monthly Dunnellon Tractor Supply Company Farm Swap. I will be bringing some young Rose Comb Rhode Island Whites. They are excellent layers of of nice large brown eggs. These are still quite young, about 3 months old. I will have both males and females if anyone is interested in breeding.
