Anyone raise these? Is there anything I should know about them before I buy some eggs?

 

[silkiechicken]

I hear they are rare. Best of luck!

Ideal has them and they use them for their gold sex links.I have some gsl's and they are great layers.

I just had one hatch today. I had 20 eggs lost 9 of them. I got them on ebay. Not much help but it's the cutist little thing.

i have them. Good birds, basically just like a RIR. They put out eggs everyday just like all the others and have a nice personallity.

I forgot about the Roo. He is a very calm well behaved Roo, probably my DW fav (I think because he is the quietest).

The true RIW has a rose comb. If anyone has RIW with the rose comb, I would love to buy some eggs. I had an order in with Gordie but he said his roo is not doing his job and the eggs were not fertile.

Wow...I never heard of that...are they pure white birds? I love my reds. Not old enough to lay yet but they are sweeties.

Just found this. I am starting with RIR's & RIW's.

Per Frizzledhen
The true RIW has a rose comb. It does say that on this web page.
