I have a lady from Washington State  who is looking for the lady who has Rhode Island Red large fowl on Whidbey Island.

If you can pop up she is wanting to get a start and or at least get in the hunt to have some Reds like you have.

Thank you. bob

Her BYC name is Mumsy.

I sent her chicks and eggs. She has a flock of around 20 young birds.

Good morning all,

I have been following the thread now for a couple years, and the HRIR is the next breed to join my menege here in MI. I have been in a pen building mode all winter and spring and it will continue on into the fall. Chicken pens and chicken houses.

By spring I hope to add the HRIR. The HRIR is my grandmothers breed, and she got me off to a good start with chickens, and many others around her. I still remember her sternly telling a neighbor ' if its not a rose comb its not a RIR ". The HRIR has been one of my favorite breeds all of my life.

To comment on the thread, I cant keep all roosters over the winter, my line of thought is that most all cockerals are developed enough at 6 mos to set their place in the flock, or not. If not its the freezer.

This fall I will be weighing all of the roosters and cockerals, and making note and comparing within the breeds. The biggest and with the best developed secondary characteristics will get the nod, and I want two roosters in the flocks. And, depending on space maybe a 3rd on backup. 10-12 hens is the goal for each. Lots of chickens,lots of eggs, have a good place to put the eggs in a local food pantry.

So, my 2 cents, before 0flation. Enjoy all, good to see some familar folks here.
