The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

Matt, If you are going to go to the Inverness, FL show I am going to enter a couple of pullets and cockerels that are from the birds I got from you. I just want to see how they will do.

Jimmy had to put the lid on the glue my blood pressure went up but it was a good rush. No Stokes or anything happened


Going to send a name to you of a 4H dad who needs some reds for his daughter.

Boy its hard to find large fowl Reds for every buddy. I am going to get my list of Rhode Island Red Club members out tonight and high light the ten and twenty year breeders in large fowl. I bet there are less than 5 left.

Does Don Nelson have large fowl Reds anymore?

Please be careful with the glue fumes; some may not have any detectable scent but, will still be there, and affect you negatively.

Please take good care of yourself!

It looks as though I will be an official owner/member of the RCRIR club next year! Just rec'd confirmation from Mr. Underwood that I am the first order rec'd for some of his large fowl reds after the first of the year! WOOT! BTW - his bantums are in high demand -- several folks already in line for those.

I'll post pictures when they arrive. In the meantime I'll keep reading and learning.

That's just great. I think you will be well satisfied. Gary is a wonderful person and very good to work with. I really do like my Underwood birds. Don't chew the ends off your fingers while waiting.

You will LOVE them. I got all my RC from Gary last year and they are the most wonderful birds I have ever owned.

Quote: I was using wood glue not much danger with it. Super glue have not used in six months.

So Don Nelson is not going to be a supply of large fowl for us. So the sub supplies of his strain is our only hope.

Think about it if it was not for many on this tread there would be no supply of good Rhode Island Reds to help beginners.

Look forward to more nice pictures to get us fired up. bob

Okay Bob,
You were talking about the Don Nelson birds. I didn't hatch out very many this year, I was working with another line but I did get just a hand full. These are out of the birds that I hatched from NYREDS and another group from another source. They are pure Don Nelson but from two different families. I used my smallest Cock bird with my really nice long girls trying to get a longer back on my cockerels. I think this worked out very well. The daddy of this boy was short but length of back and brick shape fit his overall build. This boy seems like he is going to be pretty nice. These are just coming 6 months old right now. I just took these pictures this evening. What do you think. Anyone that has gotten eggs or chicks from me this year are out of the same mating.

Looks familiar. Took me 6 years to get the males tails like that. Width of back looks good on those pullets as well.

Good one Bill. They should look familiar. Your girls could be their mother. I would bet on a couple of the pullets anyway. They got that same head as yours when they were young. Real petite.
Thanks
