The Rhodebar thread!

Wow what a downer. All 12 hatched - 11 black, 1 yellow, and no reds.

Hope you don't gamble much.LOL Seems thats the hard part, having to hatch so many out just to see what you have. Good luck with the future hatches.

I don't gamble at all, except for my Rhodebar project!

Quote: Nice Cheryl! love to see them. I didn't take pics today because I finished two new pens and was rearranging so tomorrow I hope. when did yours start to lay? I don't know why I didn't think of just asking you. Steve was so excited about his brahma chicks from you BTW.

well here are some pictures. the girls would not cooperate. there is one pullet who's coloring has more of the barring pattern that i was looking for. two of the roos are older and I like one of them. the other cockerels, it's still a bit too early to tell.

not stoked on his tail




so far I'm liking him the best




here's the pullet with a bit of the barring more present and more red


when I free range them next, I'll take some better photos.

My only yellow chick at one week old.

Nice looking chick!!

The white ones by 3 weeks tend to have beautiful barring on their wings. I am interested to see what they look like as they grow out. Are you hatching more trying to get some reds? We hatched a few more this week and the odds were definitely more black this time.

Gorgeous!!!

Thanks Makomd, I was hoping you would comment on your chicks!

I have 11 eggs in lockdown now, and another 22 cooking, two more weeks on those. But I had to put the breeders back in the layer coop in order to separate my Norwegian Jaerhons, so the next hatch will be the last for a few weeks at least. I'm hoping to get some red in the next two hatches!
