The big cockerel in the bottom left pic is one I hatched from yours. One of Sonny's offspring.

WOW. I love seeing the pictures. Looking forward to seeing more pictures as they grow. I just love the birds...

I have a pair of heritage RIRs I bought last fall. They are now 15 months old. I would like some insight on their lines which are Nelson and Ulrich. Any help, history or critiques appreciated

I put 47 healthy chicks on the ground during this spring's breeding season. The 18 in this video are the oldest, ranging from 9 weeks old to 11 weeks old. I like what I see so far, and now I'm waiting to see how they finish out in 4-5 months.

I think they are beautiful birds. My birds were originally from Matt Ulrich. I got a quad from him several years ago and over the past few years have gotten other males from him. I love the birds. Around 10 years ago I went to a show and I got the same line of birds from another person. I went to another show and saw some beautiful SC RIR's so I sought out the exhibitor (owner) of the birds who happened to be Matt Ulrich. I fell in love with the birds and made arrangements to buy some birds from him and would get them at an upcoming show. The birds I have now are all descendants from those birds.

I can't either. These are also from Matt's birds aren't they? I the video I see mostly pullets.

I bought some RC RIR chicks from Bob Anderson's line. Can't wait to see them grown. They are 3 months old.

Yes ma'am, 100% fresh off the Ulrich farm first generation. There are only 5 males in this group of 18. In the subsequent hatches, the m/f ratio was closer to normal. I'm very happy to see this many pullets.
