They hatched from eggs that came from a Local breeder. His adults came direct from green fire

I would not breed from them, they just dont display the Autosexing traits need it, you can keep them but dont breed from them

I was actually going to just sell these two. I've got two boys I've hatched and 4 pullets. I've got one more chick that looks like the darker one in the pic.

just dont sell them as Rhodebars, it would be bad for the Breed

I agree, new to Rhodebars but we do this in SFH if it is not up to par I tell them they didn't make our cut if they have defects then I tell them they are egg layers or yard ornaments and if they are really bad then I don't even tell them what they are.

Figured in just going to sell then as unknown breed chicks. I just don't want to feed them since they are sort of useless to me.

sell them as Barn Yard Specials, people love them

 

[minihorse927]

this was the whole hatch. I sold one of the lighter boys with the white dot and one of the obvious girls. I culled one if the pullets due to leg issues that couldn't be fixed. I'm keeping the 4 chipmunk girls and the light boy with the dot and the darker boy with the dot.

Yeh we had a lady buy 32 chicks yesterday and we gave her 2 barn yard specials.
