The Rhodebar thread!

[Makomd]

I will try to grab some pics of the white chicks at 3 weeks along with some of the reds. I was actually wondering if the white would breed true, depending on the coloring once older. Probably will not be able to post pictures until Monday though.

For 33 reds with bar CJ.

I was wondering if all the barred would breed true regardless of color. Aren't we only selecting the red chicks because we want a barred red bird?

Yes, just the red for the Rhodebar, but some of those whites with just barred wings are interesting looking. I have been selling the non reds locally as backyard mixes, but a few of the whites have caught my eye.

I actually have 2 roos now, just only this guy is in with the girls





Front right girl is an F1 from first matings from Jon Burton, the rest of the flock is made up of F2s from Greenfire

And the white barred culls

I'm confused what are you guys calling reds?

 

[Makomd]

These are not at the point of auto-sexing.


Of course replace RIR with the brown leghorn.

Ooooh these show a lot of promise. I'm envious.
