Rhode Island Whites Wanted

[spydertoys]

I just acquired some of these from a guy who ordered all pullets. No one has them around here that I know of, so it may be difficult finding them a Roo. One of the "girls" has a pretty large comb starting..so I am hoping that a Roo got mixed in by mistake. They are only about two months old though..so a bit soon to tell for sure.
They will sure add a lot of brightness to my flock!!

I picked up some hatching eggs for RIW and so far so good. I don't know what I have yet, only 2-3 weeks old. I picked them up for variety for my wife's flock and because they are white (check location). A lighter color chicken seems to take the heat a little better and mine leghorn experience has been flighty and mean to others.

I saw some of the rosecomb White's on ebay today - I was reluctant to call attnetion to them, eBay being sometimes questionable. But those look dandy!
I think I might be warming up to RIW's... I'm certainly encouraged by all the people raising or hatching them.

Dave, thanks for seeing things "our" way, and sorry I jumped on you before! You've done some research, huh? LOL Glad you did! Now you know why we covet them!
And Grampa, you just need more RIW so you can have selling eggs AND eating eggs LOL
