The Rhodebar thread!

They look like they very well could be. Red and barred, yellow legs, looks good to me.

I have what I believe is a RhodeBar. When I first bought him, he didn't have any red on him, and I named him Ash. Here is is at about 2 or 3 weeks old.




Now, he looks like this. He is absolutely beautiful, and will be stunning when all of his adult plumage comes in, I just know it.






I was trying to get more information on the cross, and some one suggested I look up the Rhodebar thread.

He doesn't look like a Rhodebar to me but I am sure some of the members with more experience then me can way in on what mix he is. Here is a pic of my Rhodebar rooster as a
chick:

I read that Black Stars are RIRand BR crosses, and Rhodebars are also. Wouldn't that make Rhodebars Black stars?

No, Black stars are a hybrid sex-linked and do not breed true. While Rhodebars are a hybrid they do breed true therefore are an actual breed.


Black Stars are a one time shot, while years of breeding goes into making a Rhodebar. Some of the same ingredients but a lot more selective breeding.

He is a beautiful rooster, but definitely not a Rhodebar.
