This is a picture of some of my young RIR's in an old grow-out coop with some Rhode Island Whites.

It looks like I might need to get more better ones because it looks like 4-5 are barley good enough

Grow them out and see how they turn out. I have met people in the past that have told me they have Mohawks but when I actually see the birds they don't look like them. I ask them about their birds and they usually tell me that that is what they were told. Anyone can say they have Mohawks and they may have Mohawk in them but often times are mixed with other birds or lines. When I was looking for my birds I asked Mr. Blosil from the article I posted above for advice and I stuck with what he told me. The first birds I got were nice but not as wide as I would have liked so then I sought out a breeder I was told about and saw his birds and fell in love with them and bought a quad from him. All of my birds I have now started out with that quad. I have over the years gotten a couple of related males from the same breeder. I know he keeps them pure.

I will keep them and maybe order some hatching eggs
My grandma hatched eggs with us when we were young and me and my brother gave her eggs and they hatched a couple days ago and now she said “she will hatch eggs for us if we need her to” whileshe stronglyimplied she wants to hatch more eggs. She then told us she wants to hatch as many times as she can so we are set there
