I don't have a picture of him, he did come from Privett, but I didn't order him. I got him from someone who has REALLY bad luck with Privett...6 out of 10 RIR's were roos! I'll try to get a picture of him in the next few days and post it. His feathers are a bit beat up as he was much younger than our existing hen flock when I got him last Fall. The girls really let him have it!

Yep I also had a few roosters in my sexed pullets as well. I got Buff Orps, RIWs, and SLWs from them, the SLWs were terrible and took for ever to mature that I sold most of them before they even started becuase the others had been started for nearly two months and the SLWs hadnt. And the RIWs and some of the Buff Orps started out laying ok but then slowed down to almost nothing, but most all of my other hens have too, I have had the worst luck this year with everything, laying, hatching, chicks surviving.
Did your Dark RIR roo come from them or is he a breeder quality roo ? If he did come from them, do you have pics of him, the pics of the Dark RIRs on the website ( when it was running) looked almost black.
