Do the bantams go broody that much?

What you need is to find a person who will not only share birds with you but be your partner and help you learn how to breed this line for color and share birds with them every five years. Be for the post office scare a few years ago on shipping I called this networking.

Have been thinking about this seriously. Husband and I like to take road trips through Oregon and Idaho. If there are any breeders in these states that can help get me on the correct path I would be very greatful. I think education is first on my agenda. Where is my best starting point to learn more?

We just had our meeting last night and up the prize money equal to any good show in the South East. We will have a winter show second to none for this region and all ready have people wanting to drive down to show with us from up to 600 miles away. The judges are fantastic as well and I can't wait to have one judge look over my bantam Brahmas to help me pick my breeders for next year. Enclosed is the web site address please come if you can. If you can't show just come to see all the top large fowl and bantams in the South. Birds also, will be for sale in the building for you to take home. Bob Blosl Vice President

PS You will see the Mohawk Reds at their best at this show. Come see the big male that Matt has in the conditioning pen he is the best male I have seen in 30 years.

Go up to the pictures where your daughter is pictured on this page. Hit the thread that shows all pictures on this thread. You will see many many pictures of the dark birds and maybe a few of the lighter ones. Great feature for us to look at. Must be a hundred of them or more.

It says VIEW ALL.


look at the big Red Chickens I have on this address. This will give you something to educate your mind. bob

Mr. Blosl,
Those links you provided for The Reliable Poultry Journal were just fantastic. I am very interested in raising and preserving HRIR. I have a strong desire to ensure that the true American heritage breeds survive. That said, I live in California and I'm not sure where to find these excellent birds. I would be very grateful if someone would be willing to point me in the right direction. Many thanks,
Dr. Brice Yocum

I am glad you liked the links and on this tread is recent pictures sent going back to a long time. You can see many pictures of the dark dark dark Rhode Island Reds and these are the ones you want. I will send you a personnel message of a few people who I think can help you. Do you wish to show them or just have them to look at around the yard?

This is important as many beginners will be sharing there birds with others as they are more able to share eggs or started chicks than the few breeders we have left. Most of these guys do not have time to do this or they work or just dont share until they raise up the good birds and you have to go to their homes or meet them at a show to get started. A beginner in my view would be better off money and time wise to get 10 Started Chicks about 10 to 14 days old shipped in a small 9 x 18 box called a single nest box over night express from the post office to your home. When the chicks get to your post office at 8 am take them and put them in their new brooder box with fresh feed and water and you are set for years. Then say in three to five years you can swap some chicks with some one else and get new blood and keep the strain going that you started. The secret is dont mix strains. Stay with the Minnesota strain or the Rhode Island -New York Strain of the Illinois-Alabama strain that I use to have.

As far as which ones do you keep for next year we can help you with pictures and that is done at age 7 to 8 months of age. That is the easy part. The hard part is to learn to be good chicken raisers and not let varmints, dogs, hawks ect kill them.

Hope this helps you and any other future beginner who wants to take on the mighty pure breed dark dark Rhode Island Red. Forget the catchy word Heritage or Heirloom or Standard Breed.

They are just the Original Rhode Island Reds that our for fathers started for us. This tread is to educate you which are real and which are production for eggs only. bob

Thank you for this information. It is very clear. I would like to start with ten chicks this spring and go from there. My goal is to keep this beautiful breed thriving up here in Washinton and eventually show them.

Thank you Bob. I look forward to talking to you about potential sources for chicks. I did send you a private message.
Best,
Brice
