I have to admit, I am not impressed by the Rhodebars at all so far. Not strong like the legbars, out of twelve ended up with 6. out of 3 cocks, only one is pretty.

Do you think you could post pics? Both good and bad? Would help others a lot...

I think I will decline at this time. I really wanted one but I think I need to wait till next year.

I have family over on vacation, when they leave I will take pics.

My Rhodebars are 13 wks old... thought I'd share some pics...

Sheri I am still really liking purple. The unbanded cockerels look a lot more like my Rhodie.

I keep jumping back and forth... they are both double barred, but I like ( and dislike) different things about each one.
I am planning to use both... I will use one with the pullet above, the other will go over a HRIR.
I was planning to breed the 2nd to a couple of HRIR, but... one of my RC is growing out a SC, so I figured she'd be the wise one to use under one of the RB cockerels.

So... can you pick the two apart? I never take offense... just trying to analyze them... what do you like and dislike about each?

Here's another pic of the two boys... blue boy is always taking his vet wrap off... stinker.

I let Rhodie and my Red cockerel out to free range yesterday. Here is an updated pic of Rhodie at about 6 months old. Sorry it's not the best pic but all I had was my cell phone camera.
