Oh my goodness, you have no idea how excited I am!!’
Just out of curiosity- the hen in the foreground here.
Looks a lot like a bourbon red, except for the white tips on the body feathers. Is that a fall fire?
She has a lot less white than the ladies in the background. And I know the Fall Fire don’t breed true to color; I’m just trying to learn!
I know I’m going to be receiving a mix, and would like to be accurate in my understanding

The 3 in the middle of the photo are Red Sweetgrass the 2 on each side of them are Fall Fire. This is a Red Sweetgrass, and you will get them from breeding Fall Fire.

Breeding your Fall Fire you will get Fall Fire, Red Sweetgrass and Sweetgrass. This is the Fall Fire.

The black one on far right of photo is a Bronze.

The Red Sweetgrass will breed true

This is my Fall Fire and Red Sweetgrass in breeding pen for this spring they just started laying. By using the Red Sweetgrass Tom over Fall Fire and Red Sweetgrass hens they will only produce Fall Fire and Red Sweetgrass poults.
