I have been looking, reading, and researching. Now I would like to hear from some of the rosecomb Folks.
I have several varieties of OE all of which are already recognized varieties in Rosecomb. I am truly considering a switch in breeds.
I have seen a great number of Black in shows however the BB red, Brassy back, Wheaton, Brown red, and Birchen woul dbe on the top of my list.
I also noticed the Columbian is a recognized variety of rosecomb, so the real question who has wheaton or better yet good wheaton? I think the other varieties would be easier to locate if I choose to make the move.
I further expect that the Rosecomb competition in shows is lighter due to lower numbers of breeders or lack of availability of good stock for youth exhibitors.
I have already sent and inquiry to the district director for teh Rosecomb federation.
i would truly expect the Rosecomb stock to be a little more genetically clean and fewer breed outcrosses and even variety outcrosses likely exist making aquiring good stock more realistic, is this a realistic expectation from an exhibitor with this breed?
What are your experiences with the Rosecomb?
temperment
reproductive capability
special needs or considerations
