The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

[Aamanda]

I guess I would be that second person. I wanted the "same birds my great great grandma had" but got something I didn't even know existed! And had to research to find out WHAT they were. Just knew they weren't what she had. Now am anxiously waiting to see if Fred gets some for me in June!!!! I am a naturalist anyway and want the real thing. Yes I want eggs but the old breeds aren't already past frying meat at cull time. Heritage hold the meat qualities to the old cooking age standards. Not the already too tough for anything but stew by laying age. I only wanted the real Rhode Islands and nothing else. Dealing with a mixed few until I get my "real chickens". And will breed them for myself to start. Unacceptable to breed will become the laying stock then food.

That is exactly what I was looking for. A memory of My Great Grandmoms RIR's pecking around the house. I learned my lessons lol. And this thread has helped me a lot as well. I had to research and of course it costs a bit more (cough cough) to get the right breed and cover shipping them. But it will be worth it!! Hurry up February!! lol

Just curious but is that a special box for taking pictures? If so did you make it or can it be ordered online somewhere?
I have such trouble getting my chickens to pose for pictures.

He looks really nice. Some day I am going to learn how to take pictures like that

It is a "Blue Box" at a show in Baton Rouge, La this past weekend. A Blue Box is what they use to take pictures of the winners at poultry shows.

 

[har]

Did not hear much about the show in La.

Evidently the show secretary at the BR met has posted the wrong info on the RIR FB page for the wrong birds I shall delete my info till it is posted correctly (not by me I should have quit the other night when I was ahead) LOL thanks for the heads up Kenny

someone that knows like the winners should post up their wins that would clear the air better im not a good secretary.
