The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

I have to admit these HRIRs aren't as noisy to me first thing in the morning as my hatchery red roosters were, you see the word "were"
hmm.png

Mine are very quite. Hardly ever hear Walter crow. The HDelawares crow a lot! The GLW crow all the time.
 
My neighbors will like quiet. They can't say much since they have dogs but they did mention the one day my production roos were loud in their mating season. It was a crowing fest all day long and I only had 2 crowing roosters that day. I tried giving them eggs but then my DH saw the eggs on the top of their trash the next day.

You just can't treat some people nice. Maybe a lump of coal would be better. lol
 
I thought of a pie but I don't know if they do sugar and I would be most unhappy if I heard of them trashing a homemade pie. I think I might get them a dog toy for Christmas. Maybe they will get a hint that their dogs are as loud as my roosters if not louder.
I'd say no on the pie. lol but thumbs up on the dog toy. I give my neighbor home made bread. Her dogs are really noisy but I can't say anything because my roo's can really get noisy also. She buys all her eggs from me though. Really good neighbors. We've learned to put up with each other a long time ago. We've been close neighbors for 30 or more years. lol Really the lady is like a sister. Don't know if that is good or bad. I have/had seven real sisters. Still have 5 and really do love them all. lol

I wonder if some of the new folks can see the frame on this guy. Does he have a extended keel . will he have a flat top line when he grows up. Does he have a oblong type body. Does he have a dark enough beak color. Will he have black quill color? Will he have a nice beetle green tail when he grows up? All these are questions I ask myself he is just a baby.

Two nights ago I handled his uncle and said Hi to his sire who I raised for Matt for a few months. I was his foster father to give Matt some spare room last fall before I brought him back home to breed.

I did get four saddle feathers from his uncle and the quill color was as black as ace of spades that is the quill. Can they get any darker. NO Got to send these feather to a lady I am helping out in Calif.

Back off vaction. Blood Pressure 122/76 help me keep it that way. bob

Does he have an extended keel? I wish the bird that I''m watching so close had this boy's keel Will he have a flat top line when he grows up, If not I'll use mahogany plaster of Paris and form it, if he had his hackle feathers I think the top line would look a little better. lol Does he have oblong type body? The front end looks good to me but I need to give him a little hair cut on the fluff behind the legs. lol Does he have dark enough beak color? Yes and feet/legs to match but I'm hiding them in the grass. Will he have black quill color? Guaranteed even through my rose colored glasses. Will he have nice beetle green tail when he grows up? At least 3 feathers.

Glad your blood pressure is excellent for an old man. lol Laughter is great for your health so I hope I gave you a couple of chuckles with my answers. Wishing you well.
