jeremy,

you could also try Greg Chamness in IL. he is supposed to have the Mohawk strain of RIR.like Chris said Don Nelson is another good option.

i am on his (Greg's) list and Pine Grove's too for chicks next spring.

i cant wait.both guys are supposed to have good birds.i know from pictures on here Pine Grove's sure do look great!

I'm so glad I found this thread. I also have some from William and here are some pics. .

Guess which one's are the Heritage. LOL

I had them in different pens but I've not had an egg since the end of Sept. Until they start laying again I'm keeping them together to stay warm.

I think I found the strain and source for folks who want high egg production birds. They are called ASI Browns and they also have production reds that should lay like crazy. It is a old hatchery in Michigan. I may order some ringneck pheasants from them this sping.

I got a personal message from one of the members of the site who saw a old tread who helped me run down my search.

There are a few people who want to try thier hand on selling fresh brown eggs to help make a few dollars. If you are going to go this route you got to go with birds that pop the eggs out each day. Also, there is a spot on thier site that shows how the collect thier eggs and put them in the incubator and as they hatch and send out in boxes to their customers. Big operation and nice lay out in Michigan.

When it comes to large fowl Single Comb Reds Dave Anderson has a great old line on the west coast and you will be happy with them.

William Bennett does a great job sharing his Reds with others and you can get chicks from him.

Don Nelson has some good ones one of the finest lines in the East.

Greg Chamness has my old line of large fowl and I hope if you get some from Greg you will take pictures of these birds so we can see what they look like. What I have seen from my two friends from Colorado they still look Great.

There are others I am sure some are just getting started and just dont have the breeders yet to share with you but will someday. If you send them a personel message they will let you know if they will share eggs with you. Dont forget to ask if they would send you some four to six week old started chicks. You can fill up a single nest box with Red Large Fowl Chicks and ship them overnight mail. They will get to your home in 20 hours or so and you will be in the Red Large Fowl bussiness. Hope you all who want this rare breed of standard fowl get them. I sure would like to have some more. bob

Bob,
Hope you had a great Christmas holiday. We certainly did but it would really be nice if the weather would let up a little. Now about your post-- just wanted to say that I really appreciate your support for the RIR breed and the folks that keep them going!

Chris, thanks again. I had no idea Dave had RIRs! I'm actually suppose to be getting a pair of Buff Ducks from him, it looks like I'll be asking for a pair of these too.

Jeremy the most important thing about getting Reds from Dave is he will teach you how to breed them. That is worth more money than the birds that you buy from him.

He is a great chicken man and wants to help beginners. When you get them please take pictures of them for us to see. bob

Roy got to boost those REDS.

Bob,
as usual you are very correct and every one of those breeders that you mentioned in your earlier post would be more than happy to assist a new breeder of RIR's. Another good one is Lloyd Flanagan of Texas. He has been raising Reds for many many years contiuously and his birds are really nice. I just recently purchased a trio of Single comb Reds from him to add to my genetic base. You could not ask for a person to be any nicer or more help than Lloyd.

I just heard of a man named Danny Feathers, I heard he has Very good stock. does anyone know his contact info or any other breeders contact info that might be of help ???

Please PM me info, if any.

THANKS,


LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK
