From what I understand the male rsl are white/gold and the females are reddish/tan colored, so i would say you have 2 females, that is, without seeing in person. So does that mean it went dead as in no good any more or dead as in batteries died????

John, Hey what kind of rooster do you have I cant remember what you have. Thanks

I HAD a Rhode Island Red. A hawk attack claimed my RIR roo, BR hen, and 1 Gold Comet pullet. SO, I'm on the look out for a few LF birds now.

SO, if ANY of you have some available, let me know what you have! PLZ!!!

I told Big Daddy to hurry up for you John...not sure if he listened or not. John let me check I may be able to find you a JG roo....if you are interested.

Hey John how about some eggs to hatch I got that Jersey giant Easter egger roo and I have 2 buff orphangintons and a dominecker and a Rhode island red hens I also have 2 bantam chocins that he likes really well so how many dozen do you want???? Hatching is fun we are having so much fun with the babies. I will probably hatch some of my flock around easter.

Thanks both of you. I'm really looking for a laying hen or 2 at the moment. I've got 10 in the bator and 6 Delawares coming from Privett Hatchery via Country Boy Feed Store in North Augusta the 1st of March so I don't need babies I'm good on those for now, lol. The JG roo sounds good Snick. IF AT ALL possible, I would prefer it be a blue or splash.

Thanks ya'll.

The other JG roo was gone already John, and he was black like mine. I saw there were 2 free 10 month old RIR roo's on craigslist in Gaston today. It was under farmand garden in the Columbia listings. Sorry I don't have any laying hens available right now in my bigger girls.

Where is everyone is SC?

I am putting eggs in the bator TODAY!!!

Some eggs are from Bluebell and Lav-my favorite couple. (Both blue orpingtons)
The others are from a Black roo over splash hens--should be 100% blue chicks. I am curious if it will work like that.

Also a few black on black opingtons.

Yes, Mary, you will get blues from that but I believe a sport is likely to pop out, too. It depends on what is behind them as to what genes they may carry and be hiding. You cross up 2 birds that are hiding the same gene and you can get something unexpected.​
