The Rhodebar thread!

[Cydney83]

Good evening. I am not new to chickens but new to the Rhodabar chickens. I just hatched 12 chicks...and I think they are all males! they are buff colored some with a spot on the top of their heads! Not one pullet! well I think not! I love my RIR hens...so I thought this would be a good answer to everyone wanting pullets. I will see if I can post a pic! Thanks for all the information...

Eramsey99 glad you found some locally. I culled my roo today, broke my heart to do it, but he wasn't thriving so it was for the best. Might have to make a rd trip to Tulsa for a replacement. Just not sure how to fit it in my schedule.
Enjoy your new additions!

Why thank you!! Im sorry that you had to cull your Roo... Thats never fun! But with a new Roo comes new genetics and a new personality!! Wish you the best of luck!! Now if i can only get this young hen to start laying and my young Roo to breed her then id be one happy camper!!

Some people who got their rhodebars from GFF have reported that they are laying green or "tinted" eggs. Since the parentage of rhodebars includes no breeds that lay tinted eggs, the thought is that perhaps somewhere along the line a legbar got added into their mix. GFF states on their website that their rhodebars lay tinted eggs, so they're being truthful in their advertising.

No "tinted" does not mean green or blue. When referred to eggs "tinted" is off-white or brownish...aka cream.

Hmm. I've always associated "tinted" eggs as the verbage used by hatcheries to describe EE eggs. Learn something new everyday.
