Got the site and they have listings on ebay for eggs and chicks, just checking my facts before I go any further, don't want another upset and most of ya'll know whats what.

Sounds like Dick Hortsman line. Go for it. When it comes to Rose Comb Reds there are not many to get right now. Hopefully next year there will be four or six new folks who can share their birds. This fellow does not plan to show them he just wants a rare breed to be Preservationists with and this is a breed that need help. Thank you so much.

They have some nice birds. I ordered Marans from them and they are very nice. My hatch rate was very good with their eggs.

Hmmm. We have pack rats in Mississippi. There may be another name for them but I've found their nest in the loft of the barn. Have even shot a hold in the roof one time chasing one. They seem to like to collect dried horse manure and put in their nest and can make a general mess out of a perfectly decent storage building.

What is a packrat?

Ok Bob, NY Reds and others have any of you ever heard of Sunnysideupmicrofarm that have RoseComb Rhode Island Reds! their listing says "Our RC RIR are big and have great color and type. They are excellent layers of a large brown egg and their rose comb does not freeze as easily in the winter! Great free ranging, heritage breed original stock form Tim Bowles and Rick Bond." Just wondering as i saw an advertisement for this for eggs. They also have a web site.

I can't say for sure because I don't know the folks but I can say for sure that they sound like Dick Horstman's birds. I have a few of them that are just now starting to lay. They are nice sized birds with deep mahogany color. If you go to Dicks site, you can see his birds there.
