Quote: What is the St Ives line?
are talking about crossing lines of Rhode Island Reds?
If you are not showing them or breeding them to a standard should be no problem.

Actually Bob, you suggested that I keep my line more or less pure, but I want to show them. Since my birds are descendants of the Reese line I am hopefully getting some birds from Matt.
Right now, on the Wyandotte thread, people have been discussing fertilization issues with cocks and cockerels in Wyandottes caused by the rose comb. I was wondering if anyone has found any issues similar to this in rose comb RIR's?
