Anybody know what I have here? They are about 12 weeks old. Thanks!

RIW indeed has the rose comb. It is not clear, frankly, how many true RIW there even are in existence, they are just that incredibly rare. Sorry. The Conservatory places the number at less than 3000. Here's the link with good photos. http://albc-usa.org/cpl/rhodewhite.html Last edited: Jun 24, 2012
