We have seen these at the State Fair. They win sometimes and sometimes they don't. Noone is sure where the Ryan Family got their start or what line they are. But they have had them for decades. The Lucky Pickens Farm acquired their entire flock a few years ago. They are not Production type Reds, but SOP type. Here is a photo from the Lucky Pickens Facebook page:

It does not have that triangle brick body shape and flat back.

They don't seem much better than any other production red.
The only major difference is there tail is not as pinched,but thats just my opinion..

Its not just your opinion sgribble. They are not dark enough, and don't have good type. They do have some new roosters now, but I don't see any difference in this cockeral and a hatchery production red. I think this bird would be dq in a show bigger than a county fair. Just my opinion also.

I agree Lucky! I sold all my RIR's because they were not good enough( I THOUGHT)......
