woow, amazing!
could i look another pict your cross RSL's...?

so, i just wonder, we can create "traditonally" RSL with cross RIR & RIW, because i heard some farm factory has modified chromosom/genotype in order to best result hatch.

Quote: you are correct. But the hatcheries use a RIR x RIW cross. Here are some that I did a few years ago. I kept a couple of the males for my 2nd generation experiment I was doing.









I also did a RIR male with Delaware females and the females all look like RIR male and the males looked like the Delaware females. I didn't keep any of the males from that experiment. The males I used were Heritage RIR. This is a mix of both experiments. The females that look like RIR are from the RIR x Del cross.
