I'm sorry :-(

Speaking of your setup cmom. I have three metal shelving units i got for 3.00 each. Not quite as large as yours but I am thinking--perfect outdoor brooders in the chicken "barn". One for a mini greenhouse though and one for possibly my soldier fly breeding greenhouse.

Very excited to finally get the stock going I have been wanting for so long. Taken a few years to get the long-term care growing/building stuff under wraps, but it is finally happening.

I was thinking about taking some of the culls from the Underwood line and crossing him to my project rooster. Dom x white rock. I want to use him over some of the white rock culls when I get them from another BYCer as well.

What do you guys think? Pardon the poo, He isn't house broken, lol.

ETA: He has faint ghost barring on his lemon feathers.

That sounds like a good meat bird project.

I'm trying to trace the line that my Rhode Island Red came from and I'm hoping for someone's knowledge about the information that I have so far. Any help would be appreciated.

I purchased a flock from Mr. Glen Beyer of Yulee Fl. He said he got them (years ago) from Simmons and Robert or Roberts or Robert's. Maybe someone in Georgia as that was the direction he pointed as he was telling me the information.
Mr. Glenn is involved with the Florida State Fair Chicken Show and his name shows up as a winner in the American Class in 2009
So far I believe that I may have the Mohawk line.

Some folks here who have Mohawks may be able to look at your birds and tell you.

Hi Yvonne,
I also have the Reese/Mohawk line. I don't recognize the name of Robert(s,'s) but do recognize the name Brian Simmons. As far as I know he has them. My birds came from Alabama. Originally I purchased some birds at the Florida Sunshine Classic in Lake City a few years ago. I was told that they were descendants of the Reese line. I wanted more birds and came across the fellow who wrote this history of the Mohawk and he turned me on to a nice young man that has this line so I purchased more birds from him. I absolutely love these birds.

That may have been John Roberts he got some from. However, he lives in Lakeland, FL and not Georgia and still has some nice Reds. His birds have a lot of Reese blood in them. Brian Simmons' birds are basically Reese as well. He got some from Mr. Reese and then some from me years ago. I also had Reese birds.

A few pictures of a little roo I hatched from the reds I got from Steven. The demeanor of these birds are so unique. Very friendly!! I can pick up and handle all my HRIR 's . They will come right to you. Well the credit goes to Steven (Sgribble).

So at about 2:00 this morning I hear a real loud cheep cheep cheep I have arrived so out of three eggs I have two hatched and it looks like maybe the other one has a crack in it, so if I keep on hatching three at a time I guess I'll have a flock one of these days.

That is what I am hoping. The incubator is developing my mutt eggs right on track so soon we will get to hatch the good ones. I have a string of rabbit hutches I am about to convert into small chicken tractors for the young birds, I think.

I just can't wait to get the first few RC hatches under my belt. lol

I have some RC RIR eggs in my incubator too right now along with some SC RIR pullet eggs and some of my SC RIR older girl's eggs. Just had a hatch recently of some SC RIR and RC RIW. Now I have to set the hatchers back up for the new hatches.
